It signalled the arrival of effective student activism on the political scene; it heralded the success of outspoken anti-imperialist ideologies; its slogans and pamphlets demonstrated the rhetorical qualities of the new vernacular writing; some of its participants went on to become leading cultural and political figures; it is said to have given birth to the Communist Party. The latter aspect has ensured that a particular narrative of the movement remained enshrined in official Chinese state ideology for many decades, a narrative often opposed by those outside China for similarly ideological reasons. No movement in modern Chinese history and culture has been more researched, yet none has been less understood. This award-winning book, by one of Peking University?s most famous professors, represents a groundbreaking attempt to return to a study of ?May Fourth? that is solidly grounded in historical fact. Favouring smaller stories over grand narratives, concentrating on unknown, marginal materials rather than familiar key documents, and highlighting ?May Fourth??s indebtedness to the cultural debates of the preceding late Qing period, Chen Pingyuan reconstructs part of the actual historical scenery, demonstrating the great variety of ideas expressed during those tumultuous decades. 410 0$aBrill's Humanities in China Library$v2. 606 $aIntellectuals$zChina 607 $aChina$xHistory$yMay Fourth movement, 1919 607 $aChina$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aIntellectuals 676 $a951.04/1 676 $a951.041 700 $aChen$b Pingyuan$f1954-$0636563 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789930903321 996 $aTouches of history$93860027 997 $aUNINA
