Review
'Graduate students for decades have been sent into the stacks of libraries to acquaint themselves with journals and their appearance and content, but perhaps never with the rigor and scope that Hockx has brought to this task of making journals the text of study, rather than the context.
Edward M. Gunn, MCLC, 2004.
'In the end, the number of questions raised by Hockx's study is the surest testimony to its richness: it takes on most of the major issues that should be involved in the study of modern Chinese literature, including many that have been heretofore swept under the rug. The controversies the book will inevitably raise will in many ways provide our field with a new agenda that should finally help us to transcend the old politically engendered paradigms that have hobbled us for so long.'
Theodore D. Huters, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, 2005.
Synopsis
Dealing with the central issues of style in literature, this study should be useful to sinologists, but also for all students of comparative literature. Michel Hockx takes as a point of departure the observation that most writers of the Republican period adhered to a distinctly traditional practice of gathering in literary societies, while at the same time displaying a marked preference for publishing their works through the modern medium of the literary journal. The first part of the book analyzes different types of societies and their journals. The case studies in part two convey the wider impact of literary collectives and journal publications on literary practice. Breaking with the "May Fourth" paradigm, the author proposes a radically new way of understanding the relationship between New Literature and other styles of modern Chinese writing.
