Description

This scholarly collection brings together thirteen experts in Chinese and Japanese literature to explore how contemporary literary theory transforms our understanding of East Asian texts. The contributors examine theoretical frameworks that have emerged over the past two decades, challenging traditional interpretations of literary function, readership and meaning. By moving beyond region-specific analysis, this book addresses persistent Western bias in literary criticism and creates space for comparative scholarship across East Asian writing traditions. Essential for academics, graduate students and literary scholars seeking rigorous engagement with both classical and modern East Asian literature through the lens of modern theoretical approaches.

Key Features

Thirteen scholars of Chinese and Japanese literature contribute original essays examining contemporary literary theory and its application to East Asian texts.

Explores new theoretical frameworks from the past two decades that challenge traditional methods of understanding literary interpretation and function.

Breaks through geographical and cultural barriers by providing comparative analysis rather than confining discussion to specific countries or regions.

Addresses Western bias in literary criticism by centring East Asian writing and its unique contexts within broader theoretical discourse.

Routledge publication offering peer-reviewed academic content for university courses, research programmes and advanced literary studies.
