About This Novel
The content of this book comes from the five lectures Professor Li Oufan was invited to give for the third "Hu Shi Humanities Lecture" at Peking University. Professor Li Oufan returned to a traditional topic in the study of modern Chinese literature and comparative literature - the study of the relationship between Chinese and Western literature or the relationship between Chinese and Western culture, and used his own intellectual history methods to connect text and cultural history. First, I try to clarify the intricate relationship between modernity, modernity and modern literature or modernism, and outline the historical and cultural background of modernism. Then through four topics - utopian imagination in late Qing literature, "left-wing" internationalism in Chinese and Western literary circles in the 1930s, the humanist legacy of Vico-Said-Zhu Guangqian, and Taiwan's "academic modernism" - we explore how modern Chinese literature accepts and deals with the "realistic anxiety" brought about by Western modernism, and what kind of legacy can we inherit from the history of the 20th century to deal with new crises today.
