A panoramic vision of the Chinese literary landscape across the twentieth century.

Award-winning literary scholar and poet Yunte Huang here gathers together an intimate and authoritative selection of significant works, in outstanding translations, from nearly fifty Chinese writers, that together express a search for the soul of modern China. From the 1912 overthrow of a millennia-long monarchy to the Cultural Revolution, to China?s rise as a global military and economic superpower, the Chinese literary imagination has encompassed an astonishing array of moods and styles?from sublime lyricism to witty surrealism, poignant documentary to the ironic, the transgressive, and the defiant.
