Chinese Literature. A Brief Introduction
19.99 €
In this "Brief Introduction," readers will be introduced to the history of Chinese literature from ancient times to the present day.

The Celestial Empire survived for several millennia thanks more to literary traditions than to political institutions.

Sabina Knight discusses Chinese philosophy, poetry, legends, drama, and fiction, and how Chinese literature reflects historical trauma and develops spiritual and moral principles.

The author emphasizes the importance of elites in maintaining literary activity, and the role literature played in serving the interests of certain social groups, as well as issues of canonization, language, nationalism, and cross-cultural understanding.
