A critical study on Methods and protagonists of literary criticism by Gino Tellini

Literary criticism, as a special branch of humanities and social sciences, is one of the most important topics in foreign literary studies and therefore mostly focused at the universities around all of the world. Although the comprehension of literary and intellectual theories in it’s own historical contexts doesn’t seem always simple. In iranian universities the history of criticism is abundantly studied too and so many useful works in this case are been translated in topersian and today are used by academic staffs and students. The book presented here is recommended for the literary criticism in italian language and literature course. However the main flaw of this book, according to this paper, might be the lack of a detailed historical and methodical introduction about theories of literary criticism. Then some suggestions are given to improve these aspects.
