Wang Guowei and His Literary Criticism
by Ye Jiaying
About This Novel
This book was written by Ye Jiaying when she was at Harvard University. It was also a major turning point in the author's academic research. Mr. Wang Guowei, a modern Chinese academic master, ended his life by sinking himself into a lake. This shocking move left many doubts to future generations. Why did he suddenly commit suicide at the height of his academic research at the age of fifty-one? Why did he, who devoted himself to the study of Western philosophy and literature in the early days, turn to the textual research of ancient characters, ancient artifacts, and ancient history and places in the later stages of his academic career? This book provides convincing answers to these two puzzling questions. At the same time, this book also makes an appropriate evaluation of its literary criticism represented by "Human Words".
