Description

This book explores how a modern English literary identity was forged by its notions of other traditions and histories, in particular those of China. The theorizing and writing of English literary modernity took place in the midst of the famous quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns. Eun Kyung Min argues that this quarrel was in part a debate about the value of Chinese culture and that a complex cultural awareness of China shaped the development of a 'national' literature in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England by pushing to new limits questions of comparative cultural value and identity. Writers including Defoe, Addison, Goldsmith, and Percy wrote China into genres such as the novel, the periodical paper, the pseudo-letter in the newspaper, and anthologized collections of 'antique' English poetry, inventing new formal strategies to engage in this wide-ranging debate about what defined modern English identity. Review '… Min's work makes a significant contribution.' Jennifer L. Hargrave, Eighteenth-Century Fiction Book Description Argues that eighteenth-century literature defined itself as 'English' and 'modern' by engaging with debates about Chinese history and culture. About the Author Eun Kyung Min is Professor of English at Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea. Her published work appears in such journals as The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation, Eighteenth-Century Studies, Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century, Social Text, and English Literary History.
