Expanded Course Description
| This course provides an introduction to Chinese literature of the twentieth century, with particular emphasis on the developments in fiction in the mainland (as opposed to Taiwan, Hong Kong, or the diaspora). The twentieth century witnessed in China the fall of the dynastic system and the founding of a new Republic, civil wars, the Nationalists' unification of the country in 1928, the War of Resistance against Japan (World War Two), the founding of the Communist regime in 1949, traumatic political movements, and, last but not least, the dramatic transformation of the onetime socialist state into a crucial player in the global capitalist economy. How have writers responded to these tumultuous political, social and economic changes? How has their imagination helped to define the society's self-image and sense of history? Authors discussed include major writers from the 1900s to the present, such as Wu Jianren, Lu Xun, Eileen Chang, Bai Xianyong, and Yu Hua. |
