"[T]his edited volume makes a crucial contribution to the fields of Chinese studies and literary studies by offering a new model for theorizing cosmopolitanism outside a Eurocentric paradigm, built on meticulous analyses of Qian's and Yang's works. [...] China's Literary Cosmopolitanism will be an indispensable text for scholars seeking to investigate the relationship between the provincial and the cosmopolitan, the particular and the universal, literature and politics, and the nation and the world."Inhye Han, Ewha Womans University, MCLC Resource Center Publication (September, 2016)"论文集的出版将助力海内外å¦è€…é‡�新审视这两ä½�å¦è€…型作家对ä¸å›½æ–‡å¦å’Œä¸–界文å¦çš„é‡�大贡献，助推他们的作å“�在西方的译介ã€�ä¼ æ’ä¸Žç ”ç©¶ã€‚ç¬¬ä¸€æ¬¡å°†é’±é”ºä¹¦ã€�æ�¨ç»›å®šä½�于"æ–‡å¦ä¸–界主义者"，从全新的角度评价他们对ä¸å›½æ–‡å¦å’Œä¸–界文å¦å�šå‡ºçš„çª�出贡献。第一次在英è¯ä¸–ç•Œç›¸å¯¹å®Œæ•´åœ°ç ”ç©¶æ�¨ç»›çš„作å“�，是海外æ�¨ç»›ç ”究的扛鼎之作。第一次较为系统地ã€�别出心è£�地出版钱锺书ã€�æ�¨ç»›ç ”究的论文集，给海内外钱锺书ã€�æ�¨ç»›ç ”究å�¹æ�¥ä¸€ç¼•æ¸…风。"余承法, ä¸å�—æ°‘æ—�大å¦, 当代作家评论 (2016å¹´2期)Yu Chengfa, South-Central University for Nationalities, Contemporary Writers Review (March, 2016)

Synopsis
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 againstthe modern cultural imperative that Chinese literature be worldly.Christopher Rea (Ph.D., Columbia) is Associate Professor of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia. He is the author of The Age of Irreverence: A New History of Laughter in China (California, 2015), co-editor of The Business of Culture: Cultural Entrepreneurs in China and Southeast Asia, 1900-65 (ubc Press, 2015), and editor of Humans, Beasts, and Ghosts: Stories and Essays by Qian Zhongshu (Columbia, 2011)., China's Literary Cosmopolitans offers a comprehensive introduction to the intertwined literary careers of Qian Zhongshu (1910-98) and Yang Jiang (b. 1911) and explains why they have come to represent compelling models of Chinese-centric literary cosmopolitanism.
