Points and Faces: a History of Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature
by Luo Guande
About This Novel
This book is compiled from the postgraduate course "History of Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature". Faced with the characteristics of short class hours and large capacity, we try to construct a literary history theory based on the "big historical view" of French new history master Fernand Braudel and the literary history narrative method of the British and American New Criticism's genre model and day and night alternating model. The basic viewpoints and methods adhered to in this book are: taking the century-old literary history as the perspective, using representative writers as the observation point, using different genres as the observation perspective, and trying to highlight the works of writers who have made outstanding contributions to the history of literature as much as possible. Even for the writers mentioned, they do not give a comprehensive discussion, but focus on certain specific types or specific works. That is to say, we should pursue the macroscopic view on the macroscopic level and the microscopic view on the microscopic view, so as to realize the "detumescence" of historical theory under the tension of "face" and "point". In the evaluation of specific writers, we will not stick to current stereotypes. In some aspects, we will adopt personal understanding and expression to convey a personal view of history.
