Lai Yuhuang

224K0

This book is a research monograph on modern poetry theory by young scholar Dr. Lai Yuhuang. The author mainly sorts out and discusses the huge and profound changes in the way of speaking poetry during the special period from the late Qing Dynasty to the May Fourth Movement from three dimensions: experience, language, and style. This book characterizes the changes in poetry that began in the late Qing Dynasty as the reconstruction of "modes of speech," reflecting the author's deep understanding of the dialectical interaction between autonomy and heteronomy in literary form. The author points out that poetic form as a way of imagination is actually a double-edged sword, which can not only accept and integrate new and ever-changing experiences, but also distort and reject unfamiliar experiences and feelings.
