Becoming Blanche Dubois: Adapting Tennessee Williams for the Chinese Stage -- 5. Conclusion. 330 $aThis book is the first comprehensive study of the reception of Tennessee Williams in China, from rejection and/or misgivings to cautious curiosity and to full-throated acceptance, in the context of profound changes in China?s socioeconomic and cultural life and mores since the end of the Cultural Revolution. It fills a conspicuous gap in scholarship in the reception of one of the greatest American playwrights and joins book-length studies of Chinese reception of Shakespeare, Ibsen, O?Neill, Brecht, and other important Western playwrights whose works have been eagerly embraced and appropriated and have had catalytic impact on modern Chinese cultural life. 410 0$aChinese Literature and Culture in the World,$x2945-7262 606 $aOriental literature 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aTheater 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 606 $aAsian Literature 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aGlobal and International Theatre and Performance 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aAdaptation Studies 615 0$aOriental literature. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 615 14$aAsian Literature. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aGlobal and International Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aAdaptation Studies. 676 $a701.1 676 $a812.54 700 $aQi$b Shouhua$01264008 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910624386003321 996 $aCulture, History, and the Reception of Tennessee Williams in China$92963249 997 $aUNINA
