Hi everyone, and welcome to the seventeenth episode of A History of Literary Criticism, a podcast about the history of literary criticism. Today’s episode concerns Wen-Hsin Tiao lung, a book by Liu Xie whose title can be translated as The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons. Nothing funny going on with the structure today—we’ll start with the social and literary context, then on to a pretty broad summary of what is an actual book-length text, and then a discussion in the context of Abrams’ triangle.
