| Summary |
In Revolution and Form, Jianhua Chen offers a detailed analysis of several early works by Mao Dun, focusing in particular on their engagement with themes of modernity and revolution, gender and desire. One of the leading authors of the early twentieth century May Fourth period, Mao Dun had a complicated relationship with both the Communist Party and the women?s liberation movement, and his fictional works reflect these twin concerns with revolution and gender. Chen?s study examines Mao Dun?s early fiction in relationship to the biographical and historical conditions under which it was produced. |
