This book traces the entrance of Western stage drama into China and
the initial reception it received from Chinese intellectuals. Form
the introduction of Western literature and dramatic concepts to
China in the early twentieth century to the Chinese national
theatre movement and renovation of Beijing opera, specific and
social cultural conditions ushered the literature created in that
environment. The central contention of this book is that the
evolution of modern literary stage drama was an important aspect of
the Chinese intellectual movement, transforming stage shows into
messengers of social change. When two cultures collide, it can
produce significant literary and cultural change. While there have
been productive studies comparing the characteristics of Eastern
and Western theatre, there has not yet been a study examining the
social environments that brought these characteristics about.
