Abstract
The Yale School constructed a new mode of poetics research through its departure from the New Criticism and imbibitions of Continental thoughts, and its contribution to poetics lies in its generative poetics that shifts the focus of literary studies from the scientificalness of literary criticism, the literariness of literary texts and the factualness of literary history to the generation of literary criticism, literary text and literary history. The fundamental reason behind the Yale School's achievement lies in the fact that the Yale School theorists, under the context of linguistic turn and time philosophy turn in modern Western philosophy, with their distinctive sensitivity to the complexity of literary language and literary time, found a theoretical departure point in the one-dimensional thinking stereotype of Western literary theory and philosophy by taking a ontological perception of the multi-dimensional nature of literary language and the multi-orientational nature of time.
