Description
This scholarly work examines the pivotal transformation of Chinese drama during the 1920s and 1930s, exploring how traditional opera integrated with international dramatic forms to establish the modern concept of 'national drama'. Rather than approaching the subject through conventional literary appreciation or musical theory, the author analyses Chinese drama as a comprehensive stage art, emphasising historical context and restoration of period performance conditions. The book traces how Chinese cultural heritage merged with Western theatrical influences during this formative era, providing insights into the development of drama as both a cultural and artistic practice in early twentieth-century China.

Key Features

Focuses on Chinese drama history during the 1920s and 1930s, a crucial period of theatrical transformation and cultural integration.

Examines the fusion of traditional Chinese opera with international drama conventions that shaped modern Chinese theatrical practice.

Approaches drama as comprehensive stage art rather than limiting analysis to literary or musical perspectives alone.

Published by Routledge, a respected academic publisher specialising in theatre history and performing arts scholarship.

Restores historical contexts and performance conditions of the period to illuminate the drama paradigm shift.
