A World History of Chinese Literature PDF
Edited by Yingjin Zhang
Part of the Routledge Literature Handbooks series
Description
Providing a broad introduction to the area, A World History of Chinese Literature maps the field of Chinese literature across its various worlds, looking both within - at the world of Chinese literature, its history, linguistic, cultural, local, and regional specificities - and without - at the way Chinese literature has circulated throughout the world. The thematic focus allows for a broad number of key categories, such as authors, genres, genders, regions, as well as innovative explorations of new topics and issues such as inter-arts performativity and transmediation.
The sections cover the circulation and reception of China in world literature, as well as the worlds of:
- Chinese literature across the globe
- Borders, oceans, and rainforests
- Comparative literary genres
- Translingual writers and scholars
- Gender configurations
- Translation and transmediation
With a focus on the twentieth and twenty-first century, this collection intervenes in current debates on global Chinese literature, Sinophone and Sinoscript studies, and the production and reception of literary works by ethnic Chinese in non-Sinitic languages, as well as Anglophone literature inspired by Chinese literary tradition. It will be of interest to anyone working on or studying Chinese literature, language and culture, as well as world literatures in relation to China.
