Description

This is a brief narrative of the birth and growth of modern Chinese literature from the May 4 Movement in 1919 to the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

The May 4 Movement marks the opening of the new-democratic revolution in China, as well as the beginning of a completely new literature, a proletarian literature which is strongly anti-imperialist and anti-feudal in nature. The three decades which followed the May 4 Movement saw the emergence of such outstanding writers as Lu Hsun--the most outstanding figure of the new culture--Kuo Mo-jo, Mao Tun and a host of others. A huge number of new literary works were produced--some of permanent interest and value, others which had bearing upon the events of their day. Both the writers and their more important works as well as the complex struggles between revolutionary writers and a handful of reactionary "scholars" are discussed in this book in greater or lesser detail.
