A History of Detective Novels in the Republic of China: 1912-1949 (two Volumes)
by Zhan Yubing
About This Novel
This book takes the translation and creation of detective novels during the Republic of China (1912-1949) as the main research object. It uses the detective novels published in newspapers, magazines and single volumes at that time as the basis for its argumentation. It takes the development history of detective novels during the Republic of China as its research focus, and also examines the urban origins, koan tradition, foreign translations, representative writers' works, formal characteristics (including narrative modes) and ideological value of detective novels in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. On the one hand, we strive to sort out the genre evolution trajectory and literary historical development framework of the detective novels of the Republic of China, which is the description of "history"; on the other hand, we try to extract the modern value connotation and formal stipulations of the detective novels of the Republic of China, which is the interpretation of "theory", combining historical belt theory and historical theory.
