Recenzje

'Van Dongen's study is … most timely and vital for readers interested in China's conservative tradition. In additional to her sophisticated close readings and historical analysis, the short biographies that conclude the book form a brilliant primer to the movers and shakers of intellectual discourse in the Chinese-speaking world.' Brian Tsui, Modern Chinese Literature and Culture
