科研方法与论文写作--英美文学（英文版）内容提要：
Why do we study literature?
Literature represents a language or a people: culture and tradition. But, literature is more important than just a historical or cultural artifact. Literature introduces us to new worlds of experience.
We learn about books and literature; we enjoy the comedies and the tragedies of poems, stories, and plays; and we may even grow and evolve through our literary journey with books.
How do we interpret and evaluate literature?
we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the author says and how he/she says it. We may interpret the author's message.
In academic circles, this decoding of the text is often carried out through the use of literary theory, using a mythological, psychological, cultural, historical, or other approach.
