Introduction -- 2. Speaking the Unspoken and the Unspeakable: Translating Tennessee Williams -- 3. From Cautious Curiosity to Deep Dive: Interpreting Tennessee Williams -- 4. Becoming Blanche Dubois: Adapting Tennessee Williams for the Chinese Stage -- 5. Conclusion.This book is the first comprehensive study of the reception of Tennessee Williams in China, from rejection and/or misgivings to cautious curiosity and to full-throated acceptance, in the context of profound changes in China’s socioeconomic and cultural life and mores since the end of the Cultural Revolution. It fills a conspicuous gap in scholarship in the reception of one of the greatest American playwrights and joins book-length studies of Chinese reception of Shakespeare, Ibsen, O’Neill, Brecht, and other important Western playwrights whose works have been eagerly embraced and appropriated and have had catalytic impact on modern Chinese cultural life.Chinese Literature and Culture in the World,2945-7262Oriental literatureComparative literatureTheaterLiterature, Modern20th centuryAmericaLiteraturesAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.)Asian LiteratureComparative LiteratureGlobal and International Theatre and PerformanceTwentieth-Century LiteratureNorth American LiteratureAdaptation StudiesOriental literature.Comparative literature.Theater.Literature, ModernAmericaLiteratures.Adaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.)Asian Literature.Comparative Literature.Global and International Theatre and Performance.Twentieth-Century Literature.North American Literature.Adaptation Studies.701.1812.54Qi Shouhua1264008MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910624386003321Culture, History, and the Reception of Tennessee Williams in China2963249UNINA
