China's Literary Cosmopolitans offers a comprehensive introduction
to the literary oeuvres of Qian Zhongshu (1910-98) and Yang Jiang
(b. 1911). It assesses their novels, essays, stories, poetry,
plays, translations, and criticism, and discusses their reception
as two of the most important Chinese scholar-writers of the
twentieth century. In addition to re-evaluating this married
couple's intertwined literary careers, the book also explains why
they have come to represent such influential models of Chinese
literary cosmopolitanism. Uncommonly well-versed in Western
languages and literatures, Qian and Yang chose to live in China and
write in Chinese. China's Literary Cosmopolitans argues for their
artistic importance while analyzing their works against the modern
cultural imperative that Chinese literature be worldly. Christopher
Rea (Ph.D., Columbia) is Associate Professor of Asian Studies at
the University of British Columbia. He is the author of The Age of
Irreverence: A New History of Laughter in China (California, 2015),
co-editor of The Business of Culture: Cultural Entrepreneurs in
China and Southeast Asia, 1900-65 (ubc Press, 2015), and editor of
Humans, Beasts, and Ghosts: Stories and Essays by Qian
Zhongshu(Columbia, 2011).
