Yin, Qiping. Wu'erfu xiao shuo guan bu lun [ID D31613].
Yin explores Woolf's theory of fiction on the basis of Qu Shijing's research and questions some of his conclusions as well. He argues 'that the whole body of Woolf's theoretical views can be attributed to her life-determinism'. 'What Woolf means by life includes both subjective impressions of the individual and the objective reality of society'. Yin claimes that Woolf's viewpoint that life is 'the proper end of fiction' constitutes the cornerstone of the whole body of Woolf's theory of fiction. Yin argues that the time-change (including human character chang) Woolf referred to took place not only in 1910, but throughout all historical periods. Yin reminds the reader that Woolf not only called on the novelist to constantly break the convention, but at the same time also opposed violent change, which 'suggests that she at least had realized the necessity of maintaining a blanance between inheriting and breaking the convention'. 'Woolf's ideal is that fiction should flourish together with poetry and philosophy'. 'Woolf's subjective impression is strongly tied to objective experience'. 'Woolf was concerned with the interaction of practical experience and subjective consciousness. Her view of reality is deeply rooted in actual life'.
