Twentieth-Century Literary Encounters in China
Taylor & Francis
From the travel writing of the eccentric plant collector and Reginald Farrer, to Emily Hahn\u2019s insider depictions of bohemian life in semi-colonial Shanghai, to Ezra Pound\u2019s mediated \u2018journeys\u2019 to Southwest China via the explorer Joseph Rock \u2013 Anglo-American representations of China during the first half of the twentieth century were often unconventional in terms of style, form, and content. By examining a range of texts that were written in the flux of travel \u2013 including poems, novels, autobiographies \u2013 this study argues that the tumultuous social and political context of China\u2019s Republican Period (1912-49) was a key setting for conceptualizing cultural modernity in global and transnational terms. In contrast with accounts that examine China\u2019s influence on Western modernism through language, translation, and discourse, the book recovers a materialist engagement with landscapes, objects, and things as transcribed through travel, ethnographi.
