Chant of the Marginal: a Chinese Narrative Centered on A. T. Hobart
by Wang Peng
About This Novel
In the first half of the 20th century, a rather positive image of China emerged in American literature, and a group of American female writers who had lived in China made outstanding contributions to this end. In addition to the well-known Pearl Buck, A. T. Hobart is also one of the more popular ones. Focusing on A. T. Hobart, this book examines her literary creation in three different periods when she first arrived in China, experienced the Nanjing Incident, and returned to the United States. It explores this female writer's deep thinking on the times and civilization from the perspectives of immigration, gender, and marginalized people. Her observations of old China and reflections on American culture will also have certain reference value for modern readers.
