The Columbia anthology of modern Chinese literature - Lau, Shiu Ming Joseph 1934- (Columbia University Press, 2007)
Angaben zum Inhalt: This anthology has long been one of the most comprehensive resources of its kind. In this new edition the editors have replaced selections from familiar authors with new works and have augmented the collection. The volume now includes poetry, stories from the colonial period in Taiwan, literature by Tibetan authors, selections from the People's Republic of China (1949-1966) and the Cultural Revolution, stories by post-Mao authors Wang Anyi and Gao Xingjian, literature with a homosexual theme, and examples from the modern "cruel youth" movement. The editors have also updated their notes and the contributors' biographies. This edition offers a complete overview of twentieth-century writing from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and makes inroads into the twenty-first century as well.
