This is the first independent, full-life biography of Lu Xun,
the most celebrated Chinese writer of the twentieth century, in any
European language. It sets aside all the propaganda that has
accrued over the sixty-six years since his death, and presents him
as a credible human being, neither aggrandized nor belittled. As Lu
Xun's life spanned the transition from Manchu empire to citizens'
Republic, it can be seen as one man's history of China's progress
to modernity -- a progress in which he personally played a
significant part.
The facts of Lu Xun's life are presented objectively, but they
do not always speak for themselves. The author has therefore drawn
on his lifelong study of modern Chinese literature to offer
intelligent interpretations where necessary. Since the subject of
this biography was a writer, the author has appended to the
chronicle some brief 'sketches' of his work for the benefit of
those unacquainted with it.
