Features: The Shanghai small newspapers addressed in this book represent almost an entirely new field for the study of modern Chinese literature. It is the first academic monograph that comprehensively and systematically examines Shanghai small newspapers from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republican era. The small newspapers imagine Shanghai as a metropolis symbolized by celebrities, weaving the narrative history of the city with "rumors," and filling it with modern, fashionable, and materialistic urban spaces. Small newspaper literature is a popular literature that blends the old and the new for the urban masses. With the help of small newspapers, one can engage in an integrative reflection on romance culture and Shanghai culture.
