This book, the first of its kind in English, examines the
reinvention of loyalism in colonial Taiwan through the lens of
literature. It analyzes the ways in which writers from colonial
Taiwan-including Qiu Fengjia, Lian Heng, Wu Zhuoliu, and
others-creatively and selectively employed loyalist ideals to cope
with Japanese colonialism and its many institutional changes. In
the process, these writers redefined their relationship with China
and Chinese culture. Drawing attention to select authors'
lesser-known works, author Chien-hsin Tsai provides a new
assessment of well-studied historical and literary materials and a
nuanced overview of literary and cultural productions in colonial
Taiwan. During and after Japanese colonialism, the islanders'
perception of loyalism, sense of belonging, and self-identity
dramatically changed. Tsai argues that the changing tradition of
loyalism unexpectedly complicates Taiwan's tie to China, rather
than unquestionably reinforces it, and presents a new line of
inquiry for future studies of modern Chinese and Sinophone
literature.
