英文摘要：

The Singularity of Literature, written by British critic and professor Derek Attridge from the University of York, published by Routledge in 2004, discusses the basic concepts in literary study. Emphasizing the literary language and forms, it defines literature as ＂the singularity of literature＂ and regards the reading process as ＂performance＂ of the literary event, where the reader and a particular literary text interact. The publication of the book reflects the return to the basics of literary study against the upsurge of cultural, political and social studies of literary works. Its focus is on the aesthetic value and artistic expression other than the instrumental use of literature.
