Biography
René Wellek (1903–1995) was a Czech-American comparative literary critic and a leading figure in literary theory. Educated in Prague and active in the Prague School, he later moved to the U.S., teaching at Yale University, where he established the comparative literature department. Wellek co-authored Theory of Literature, a foundational work in literary theory. His monumental eight-volume A History of Modern Criticism cemented his legacy as one of the 20th century's most influential literary critics.
