Research on Contemporary Chinese Foreign Literature (1949-2019)
by Editor-in-chief Chen Zhongyi
About This Novel
This book is a revised version of "Contemporary Chinese Foreign Literature Research", with added content from 2009 to 2019. Looking at the study of foreign literature in the seventy years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are two main facts: first, the Soviet model was basically followed in the first seventeen years, but Western literature and cultural traditions were somewhat partial; second, in the last forty years, the "things were reversed", and the large influx of Western literature hit the Chinese literary world unprecedentedly, and provided some kind of leading role in emancipating the mind and bringing order to chaos; without foreign literary theories suddenly appearing around us, Chinese literature would not have been able to quickly cross the boundaries of traditional politics and aesthetics and achieve extensive and profound transformations. However, foreign literary research in this latter period obviously switched to the Western model, thereby somewhat abandoning some of the fine traditions and academic paradigms that should have been adhered to. Of course, this is a big-picture approach to scanning. The specifics are much more complex.
