Proportionality as an element in history of literary criticism has a key role in GolamHossein Yosefi’s critique. The purpose of this article is to study the nature, types, and consequences of proportionality in literary criticism according to Yousefi’s works specially CheShme-ye Roshan, Didar Ba Ahl-e Ghalam, Yaddasht-ha, Kaghaz-e Zar, Barghaei Dar Aghoosh-e Bad. This paper have studied His attitude of proportionality, the types of proportionality in his works, and the relationship with other components of literary criticism. It can be said that Yousefi applies a wide range of vocabulary to refer to proportionality. For him, types of proportionality also include the proportion between character and his nature, the proportion between different parts of the text, the proportion between formal and content elements. He applies proportionality in relation with some elements such as ellipsis, periphrasis and imaging. according to Yousefi, Thus, observing various types of proportion is a strong point of a text and has consequences such as unity and coherence of the text, realism and credibility, and impact on the readers. In Yousefi's criticisms, (a) no precise definition or description of the aforementioned components is provided, as if everyone agrees on their meaning. This naturalization of concepts is one of the features of Yousefi's view of literary criticism. (b) Despite his theoretical emphasis on the necessity of proportionality between form and content, in practice, it seems that content is more important than form; as formal elements are described by content characteristics. (c) From an evaluative perspective, he considers the types of proportionality and its consequences to be the advantage of a literary work. finally, Yousefi's view of proportion is most indebted to the classical and neoclassical view of this criterion.
