简介
本书汇集了十七位学者的论文，探讨晚明（1550–1644）和晚清（1851–1911）时期的文化与文学变革。尽管这两个时期通常与严重的社会政治危机相关联，但它们同时也是中国文化复兴的时期。全书聚焦于“危机”与“创新”两大主题，旨在阐明晚明与晚清作为帝国解体时期文学文化创新的时代特征，分析两个时期之间的关联及其留给现代想象的激进遗产，并在现代主义时代终结的背景下重新思考晚明与晚清的“前现代性”。
书中涉及的作品范围极广，涵盖诗歌、戏剧、长篇小说、短篇故事、弹词叙事、报纸文章、杂记、随笔、小品文以及公私历史记载等体裁，其中部分作品此前从未被英文文献讨论过。各章从多个维度展开探讨，从关于王朝衰落的证词到作者主体性的协商，从文化技术的引入到文学传统的更新，呈现了危机与创新之间复杂而深刻的互动关系。

This volume addresses cultural and literary transformation in the late Ming (1550–1644) and late Qing (1851–1911) eras. Although conventionally associated with a devastating sociopolitical crisis, each of these periods was also a time when Chinese culture was rejuvenated. Focusing on the twin themes of crisis and innovation, the seventeen chapters in this book aim to illuminate the late Ming and late Qing as eras of literary-cultural innovation during periods of imperial disintegration; to analyze linkages between the two periods and the radical heritage they bequeathed to the modern imagination; and to rethink the “premodernity” of the late Ming and late Qing in the context of the end of the age of modernism. The chapters touch on a remarkably wide spectrum of works, some never before discussed in English, such as poetry, drama, full-length novels, short stories, tanci narratives, newspaper articles, miscellanies, sketches, familiar essays, and public and private historical accounts. More important, they intersect on issues ranging from testimony about dynastic decline to the negotiation of authorial subjectivity, from the introduction of cultural technology to the renewal of literary convention.
