杨自伍

Yang Ziwu is known in Chinese-language book records for seven titles, while public information about him is limited: his dates of birth and death, nationality and academic background are not clearly documented. Judging from the works listed, his efforts center on foreign literary criticism and humanistic education. He produced the extensive translation A History of Modern Literary Criticism (eight volumes) and took part in compiling the T. S. Eliot collection, including the essay volume On Criticism, showing sustained attention to the Anglo-American critical tradition. At the same time, Education: On Becoming Human, its companion selection of Western thinkers on the humanities and sciences, and Selected Famous English and American Pieces place classic texts alongside educational questions, balancing scholarship with readability. His compilations belong mainly to social science, foreign literature and literary appreciation, aimed at readers willing to read the sources closely.
