The Literature of Leisure and Chinese Modernity
The Chinese essay is arguably China's most distinctive contribution to modern world literature, and the period of its greatest influence and popularity-the mid-1930s-is the central concern of this book. What Charles Laughlin terms "the literature of leisure" is a modern literary response to the cultural past that manifests itself most conspicuously in the form of short, informal essay writing (xiaopin wen). Laughlin examines the essay both as a w…
