China’s Literary Cosmopolitans
I am pleased to announce the publication of a new book that I co-authored with Judith M. Amory, Amy D. Dooling, Ronald Egan, Jesse Field, Theodore Huters, Wendy Larson, Carlos Rojas, and Yugen Wang:
CHINA'S LITERARY COSMOPOLITANS:
QIAN ZHONGSHU, YANG JIANG, AND THE WORLD OF LETTERS
Edited by Christopher Rea
Brill, 2015

A preview is available on Google Books.
Publisher's description:
China’s Literary Cosmopolitans offers a comprehensive introduction to the literary oeuvres of Qian Zhongshu (1910-98) and Yang Jiang (b. 1911). It assesses their novels, essays, stories, poetry, plays, translations, and criticism, and discusses their reception as two of the most important Chinese scholar-writers of the twentieth century.
In addition to re-evaluating this married couple’s intertwined literary careers, the book also explains why they have come to represent such influential models of Chinese literary cosmopolitanism. Uncommonly well-versed in Western languages and literatures, Qian and Yang chose to live in China and write in Chinese. China’s Literary Cosmopolitans argues for their artistic importance while analyzing their works against the modern cultural imperative that Chinese literature be worldly.
