Chinese Literature and the Child is a far-reaching study of images
of children in post-Cultural Revolution novels and short stories.
Considering works from over twenty writers, including some of
China's leading literary stars, this book spans two decades of
China's recent and rapid transformation. Tracking ideas of the
child in Chinese society across the twentieth century, Kate Foster
places fictional children within the story of the nation in a study
of tropes and themes which range from images of strength and purity
to the murderous and amoral. In this ambitious and revealing study,
Foster views China's imagined children in relation to major shifts
in Chinese culture and society and through literary theory, and
argues convincingly for the significance of the child in fiction in
the construction of adult identity in a time of change.
