Opis

Beyond the Iron House is a critical study of a crucial period of life and work of the modern Chinese writer Lu Xun. Through thorough research into historical materials and archives, the author demonstrates that Lu Xun was recognized in the literary field much later than has hitherto been argued. The book provides comparative study on him and his contemporaries and in-depth analysis on his relationships with the literary field and the other writers.
