During much of China's tumultuous 20th century, May 4th and Maoist
iconoclasts regarded their classical literary heritage as a burden
to be dislodged in the quest for modernization. This volume
demonstrates how the traditions that had deeply impressed earlier
generations of Western writers like Goethe and Voltaire did not
lose their lustre; to the contrary, a fascination with these past
riches sprouted with renewed vigour among Euro-American poets,
novelists, and other cultural figures after the fall of imperial
China in 1911. From Petrograd to Paris, and from Sao Paolo to San
Francisco, China's premodern poetry, theatre, essays, and fiction
inspired numerous prominent writers and intellectuals. The
contributors survey the fruits of this engagement in multiple
Western languages and nations.
