Shen Congwen's Prose (2nd Edition)

About This Novel

Among the hundreds of scholars of modern literature, Shen Congwen's literary path is full of legend: he entered the local army in his youth, was familiar with the big book of society, and was familiar with the rural customs and folk customs of the thousands-mile-long Yuan River Basin; later, he was inspired by the May Fourth New Literature, went to Beijing to study writing, and taught at a university, using a series of essays and novels to build his own unique "Western Hunan World." His prose is mainly composed of two collections, "Xiang Travels" and "Western Hunan", as well as the prose-style "Autobiography of Congwen" and other autobiographies. Compared with novels, his prose can better express the personal path he, a "countryman", has taken since entering the literary world, as well as his personal emotions and historical feelings. It enriches the diversity of modern prose and is worthy of being included in this series. This edition has been supplemented by Professor Li Yang, a research scholar of Shen Congwen from the School of Liberal Arts of Nankai University, including "Hidden Abyss", "Memories of Peiping", "Reminiscences of Kunming", "Impressions and Thoughts of Peiping", "My Writing and the Story of Water", "Inscriptions", "Preface to Selected Works" and "Abstract Lyrics", and has written an introduction.
