Chinese Reportage - The Aesthetics of Historical Experience

"This is the first full-length English study of Chinese reportage, following its development from the turn of the century to the founding of the People's Republic. Charles A. Laughlin delineates the genesis and transformation of a genre that had a powerful impact on the making of Chinese literary and political modernity, and he inquires into the treacherous terms by means of which Chinese writers sought to understand reality and its representation. Theoretically provocative and historically engaged, this book will be of tremendous significance for anyone interested in modern Chinese literature, history, journalism, and politics."--David Der-wei Wang, Columbia University
