    Annotation:

    The Theory of Literature by Wellek and Warren proposed already in 1948 a distinction between theory, criticism and literary history, but the authors insisted on the necessity of their mutual relation to be fecund. The idea was accepted, but not always practiced. Especially, a long distance between theoric abstraction and history of literature was be continued. With the perspective of the nineteenth century, the literary theory and the criticism of the twentieth century have despised the history as a simple chronologic story, limited into the erudition. However, the history of literature must'n be a chronicle, but it implies a historical model, a model born in the theory, with its rigor and with the empirical facts for its corroboration. This is a sinthesis proposal, whose intention is less to be definitive than to open the discussion about the subject.
