- Description
- This anthology, a sequel to the first volume covering the early twentieth century, includes a variety of literary, personal, and journalistic responses to the tumultuous history of mid-twentieth-century China. Selections by Chinese women writers of the twentieth century reflect the intellectual and aesthetic diversity of women's writing from the period. Thise Chinese women writers offer riveting accounts of contemporary historical conditions, comic depictions of twentieth-century urban life, and modernist works of fiction. Biographical information on twelve writers - including Yang Gang, Bai Wei, Hu Lanqi, Yang Jiang, Zong Pu, and Chen Ruoxi - and Dooling's introduction provide understanding of the role of women's writing in Chinese literary modernity.
