Editor Howard Goldblatt explains that while most societies analyse
and revere their literary trends in retrospect, post-Liberation
China's literary trends tend to be announced beforehand allowing
for critics to judge how close or far from the prescribed norms a
piece of art is. In this volume, a collection of speeches and
reports from the Fourth Congress of Writers and Artists, well-known
Chinese writers (novels, poets, and dramatists alike) debate the
future direction of Chinese literature for the 1980s. Originally
published in 1982, the book lends a contemporary view into the
state of art and literature in China during a critical era of
transformation. This title is suitable for students of Literature
and East Asian Studies.
