Poverty in Modern Chinese Realism

From Russia, with Squalor

Beschreibung

Poverty in Modern Chinese Realism shows how early twentieth-century Chinese writers drew upon Russian realist fiction to develop new types of literature in China. They used elements found in Russian fiction by Gogol, Chekhov, Gorky, and others, in order to portray and remedy the poverty and backwardness they felt were holding China back.
