ASIAN 6603
Modern Chinese Literature Survey

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

Chinese life is indivisibly intertwined with Chinese literature. Mao Zedong was a poet; so is jailed dissident Liu Xiaobo. This course will provide a survey of twentieth- and twenty-first century Chinese literature in translation, beginning with the reforms of the May Fourth Movement and ending with the debate over the Nobel Prize for Literature after it was granted to Gao Xingjian and Mo Yan. The course's goals are to give students a broad foundation in the major literary movements and events of modern China, and to enjoy remarkable stories, novels and poems that come to us from the original Chinese.

When Offered Fall.
