Publisher Description: This collection provides a critical reexamination of the development and current status of comparative literature studies that engage the literary practices of both China and the West. It attempts to refashion literary methodologies and cultural theories in Chinese studies and reread several noncanonical texts in ways that cut across disciplines, genders, and modernities. |
