Chapter I covers the significant changes in the Chinese Party line on literature and art during this period and thus provides the...

This book is a historical-textual study about transformations of the aesthetics of the sublime"the literary and aesthetic quality of greatness under duress"from early English Romanticism to the New Poetry Movement in twentieth-century China.
