Description
Key Features
Explores I. A. Richards's promotion of an 850-word Basic English version designed for international adoption in China between 1929 and 1979.
Examines the Cambridge intellectual environment of the 1920s-1930s where Richards developed his internationalist literary and political theories.
Traces connections between Richards's literary criticism methods and his larger political ideals regarding language standardisation and cultural exchange.
Contextualises Richards's Chinese work within major twentieth-century historical events including Japanese occupation, Communist revolution, and Cold War tensions.
Published by Stanford University Press as a scholarly historical analysis of language, empire, and intellectual influence in modern Asia.
Used book in good condition, offering an accessible entry into post-war cultural history and the politics of global English.
