'The noblest mission of IAELC, as formulated in Nie Zhenzhao's teachings, is to restore the critical discipline to its proper suppleness and subtlety, its engagement with central human purposes, undoctrinaire, faithful to its documents, respectful of historical knowledge, and in short empirical in the best and most sensitive readerly way.' Claude Rawson, Yale University, USA 'It seems to me that Ethical Literary Criticism is valuable in that it seeks not just to revise moral criticism, but to modernize and update it for our own time. I thus think that Ethical Literary Criticism may have potentially useful things to say not just about the literature of Samuel Johnson's or Arnold's or Leavis's age, but also about earlier (and later) works.' Galin Tihanov, Queen Mary University of London, UK 'Nie Zhenzhao's Introduction to Ethical Literary Criticism illuminates the working logistics and principles of ethical literary criticism, generating a variety of ethical events and ethical conflicts in literary works, providing a new approach to literary studies after the ethical turn in western deconstructive and postmodern literary theory and criticism, creating new contemporary Chinese trends in literary criticism and theory, and anticipating the future anterior of the Asian literary critical discourse.'
