In the period between the 1920s and 1940s, a genre emerged in
Chinese literature that would reveal crucial contradictions in
Chinese culture that still exist today. At a time of intense
political conflict, Chinese women began to write autobiography, a
genre that focused on personal identity and self-exploration rather
than the national, collective identity that the country was
championing. "
When "I" Was Born: Women's Autobiography in Modern China" reclaims
the voices of these particular writers, voices that have been
misinterpreted and overlooked for decades. Tracing women writers as
they move from autobiographical fiction, often self-revelatory and
personal, to explicit autobiographies that focused on women's roles
in public life, Jing M. Wang reveals the factors that propelled
this literary movement, the roles that liberal translators and
their renditions of Western life stories played, and the way in
which these women writers redefined writing and gender in the
stories they told. But Wang reveals another story as well: the
evolving history and identity of women in modern Chinese society.
"When "I" Was Born "adds to a growing body of important work in
Chinese history and culture, women's studies, and autobiography in
a global context.
Writers discussed include Xie Bingying, Zhang Ailing, Yu Yinzi,
Fei Pu, Lu Meiyen, Feng Heyi, Ye Qian, Bai Wei, Shi Wen, Fan
Xiulin, Su Xuelin, and Lu Yin.
Annual volume of recent research on all aspects of the Norman
World. Papers on English and Norman history from the early eleventh
to the early thirteenth centuries: castles and monasteries,
ecclesiastical administration and missionary activity, attitudes of
the aristocracy, Domesday and Textus Roffensis
No single recent enterprise has done more to enlarge and deepen our
understanding of one of the most critical periods in English
history. ANTIQUARIES JOURNAL Anglo-Norman Studies, published
annually and containing the papers presented at the Battle
conference founded by R. Allen Brown, is established as the single
most important publication in the field (as a glance at
bibliographies of the period will confirm), covering not only
matters relating to pre- and post-Conquest England and France, but
also the activities and influences of the Normans on the wider
European, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern stage. Among other
subjects, this year's articles look at Norman architecture and its
place in north-west European art; shipping and trade between
England and the Continent; Dudo of St Quentin; and castles and
garrisons.
