Features: This book provides a complete and comprehensive outline of the entire development and evolution of modernist poetry in China, exploring the continuity and variations among different schools, as well as the distinct characteristics of each period. It particularly highlights the creative styles of poets during the peak of Chinese modernism in the 1930s, showcasing the historical trajectory of the development of Chinese new poetry. At the same time, the book places greater emphasis on revealing the causal relationships behind the phenomena, thereby summarizing the internal rhythms and patterns of change in 20th-century Chinese modernist poetry. By examining 20th-century Chinese modernist poetry against the broad backdrop of cultural intersections between ancient and modern, China and the world, the book traces a discontinuous life curve for Chinese modernist poetry within the temporal and spatial context of the 20th century.
