For much of the twentieth century, the May Fourth movement of
1919 was seen as the foundational moment of modernity in China.
Recent examinations of literary and cultural modernity in China
have, however, led to a questioning of this view. By approaching
May Fourth from novel perspectives, the authors of the eight
studies in this volume seek to contribute to the ongoing critique
of the movement.
The essays are centered on the intellectual and
cultural/historical motivations and practices behind May Fourth
discourse and highlight issues such as strategies of discourse
formation, scholarly methodologies, rhetorical dispositions, the
manipulation of historical sources, and the construction of
modernity by means of the reification of China's literary past.
