As Andrew David Field argues, Mu Shiying advanced modern Chinese writing beyond the vernacular expression of May 4 giants Lu Xun and Lao She to even more starkly reveal the alienation of the cosmopolitan-capitalist city of Shanghai, trapped between the forces of civilization and barbarism. Each of these five short stories focuses on the author's key obsessions: the pleasurable yet anxiety-ridden social and sexual relationships of the modern city and the decadent maelstrom of consumption and leisure in Shanghai epitomized by the dance hall and the nightclub. This study places his writings squarely within the framework of Shanghai's social and cultural nightscapes. 410 0$aRAS China in Shanghai series of China Monographs. 606 $aAuthors, Chinese$y20th century$vBiography 607 $aChina$xHistory$yRepublic, 1912-1949 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors, Chinese 676 $a895.109005 700 $aField$b David$01055270 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463667803321 996 $aMu Shiying$92488555 997 $aUNINA
