The Deconstruction of the Theory of Literary Fiction——The Theory of Fiction about the Western Modern and Post-modern Linguistic Environment

The true mature stage of the theory of literary fiction is in the modernism period. In this period, the multitudinous literary theorists and aesthetic theorists began to study the issue of literary fiction in terms of the level of literary works. Fiction was deemed as a necessary component for the works to possess the characteristic of literature and accordingly, fiction possessed the essence of ontology. In the period of postmodernism when everything was dispelled, including literature and non- literature, fiction and non-fiction, the same was true with the ontological quality of fiction. The term- literary fiction began to lose its own connotation and hard to define.
