May Fourth Polyphony: the Trend of Suspicion of Antiquity and the Construction of Vernacular Literary History
by Chen Anfeng
About This Novel
This book mainly re-examines the construction of the history of vernacular literature from the perspective of anti-ancient thoughts, with both historical tracing and synchronic comparison: the former is reflected in the key role played by anti-ancient thoughts in the construction of the history of vernacular literature; the latter can be seen in Hu Shi and Gu Jiegang's discussions on the methodology of constructing the history of vernacular literature, the theory of folk literature, and the relationship between the history of vernacular literature and nationalism. For the first time, this book regards Gu Jiegang as a key figure who jointly constructed the history of vernacular literature with Hu Shi. In short, this book involves not only a discussion of the history of vernacular literature, but also a review and revaluation of modern academic history.
