Title: The literature of China in the twentieth century
First published: 1997
Description: In this ground-breaking book, Bonnie S. McDougall and Kam Louie present the first comprehensive survey of twentieth-century Chinese lierature - the fiction, poetry, and drama that have been inextricably linked with the politics and culture of modern China.

Organized chronologically, The Literature of China in the Twentieth Century traces the development of Chinese literature from the Boxer Rebellion to the Tiananmen Massacre, when dissident poets, such as Bei Dao, earned international acclaim as well as indefinite exile from the mainland. With its exhaustive bibliography and informative glossary, the book will prove an essential reference and teaching tool.
