This book examines the development of Chinese children's literature
from the late Qing to early Republican era. It highlights the
transnational flows of knowledge, texts, and cultures during a time
when children's literature in China and the West was developing
rapidly. Drawing from a rich archive of periodicals, novels,
tracts, primers, and textbooks, the author analyzes how Chinese
children's literature published by Protestant missionaries and
Chinese educators in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries presented varying notions of childhood. In this period of
dramatic transition from the dynastic Qing empire to the new
Republican China, young readers were offered different models of
childhood, some of which challenged dominant Confucian ideas of
what it meant to be a child. This volume sheds new light on a
little-explored aspect of Chinese literary history. Through its
contributions to the fields of children's literature, book history,
missionary history, and translation studies, it enhances our
understanding of the negotiations between Chinese and Western
cultures that shaped the publication and reception of Chinese texts
for children.
