The Power of Literary History (enhanced Edition)
by Dai Yan
About This Novel
"Literary history" was introduced to China from the West via Japan in the early 20th century. Its arrival changed China's inherent concepts of literature and literary history and created a new Chinese literary tradition. What this book discusses is how, after the theory of "literary history" was introduced to China, it cooperated with the academic classification, historical narrative, educational system, ideology, literary and artistic trends, and the Mandarin movement in modern times to create a new understanding and interpretation of Chinese classical literature. Through such an academic historical investigation of "literary history writing", it explains how the "power of literary history" was formed and how it continues to exert its effectiveness. This new edition adds a chapter "The Establishment of the Literary History of Mandarin", enriching the content of the book. In addition, several appendices have been added to provide supplementary discussion on "the power of literary history".
