The "Talks at the Yan'an Conference on Literature and Art" has occupied a prominent position among his many works and has been the subject of intense scrutiny both within and outside China. This text has undoubted importance to modern Chinese literature and history. In particular, it reveals Mao's views on such questions as the relationship between writers or works of literature and their audience, or the nature and value of different kinds of literary products.In this translation and commentary, Bonnie S. McDougall finds that Mao was in fact ahead of many of his critics in the West and his Chinese contemporaries in his discussion of literary issues. Unlike the majority of modern Chinese writers deeply influenced by Western theories of literature and society (including Marxism), Mao remained close to traditional patterns of thought and avoided the often mechanical or narrowly literal interpretations that were the hallmark of Western schools current in China in the early twentieth century.Many of the detailed discussions on the "Talks" in the West have been concerned with their political and historical significance. However, since Mao is a literary figure of some importance in twentieth-century China, McDougall finds it worthwhile to follow up his published remarks on the nature and source of literature and the means of its evaluation. By better understanding the complex and revolutionary ideas contained in the "Talks," McDougall suggests we may acquire the necessary analytical tools for a more fruitful investigation into contemporary Chinese literature. 410 0$aMichigan monographs in Chinese studies. 517 $aMao Zedong’s “Talks at the Yan’an Conference on Literature and Art” 517 $aMao Zedong?s ?Talks at the Yan?an Conference on Literature and Art? 606 $aEnglish literature$y20th century 615 0$aEnglish literature 676 $a951.050924 700 $aMcDougall$b Bonnie S.$0640625 702 $aMao$b Zedong 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910477222203321 996 $aMao Zedong's "Talks at the Yan'an conference on literature and art"$91159054 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02898nam 2200613 a 450 001 9910792128703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-283-06112-0 010 $a9786613061126 010 $a90-474-3376-9 024 7 $a10.1163/ej.9789004168398.i-208 035 $a(CKB)2610000000001623 035 $a(EBL)682251 035 $a(OCoLC)711004461 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000471480 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11346552 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000471480 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10428557 035 $a(PQKB)11109164 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC682251 035 $a(OCoLC)213318566 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789047433767 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL682251 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10461205 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL306112 035 $a(PPN)174544820 035 $a(EXLCZ)992610000000001623 100 $a20080303d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMorton Smith and Gershom Scholem, correspondence 1945-1982$b[electronic resource] /$fedited with an introduction by Guy G.

After the war, the two started a long, fascinating and at times intense correspondence that ended only with Scholem's death. These letters, found in the Scholem archive in the National Library in Jerusalem, provide a rare perspective on the world and the approach of two leading historians of religion in the twentieth century. They also shed important new light upon Smith's discovery of a letter attributed to Clement of Alexandria referring to a secret Gospel of Mark. 410 0$aJerusalem studies in religion and culture ;$vv. 9. 676 $a296.0922 700 $aScholem$b Gershom Gerhard$f1897-1982.$0152301 701 $aSmith$b Morton$f1915-1991.$0157489 701 $aStroumsa$b Guy G$0223005 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792128703321 996 $aMorton Smith and Gershom Scholem, correspondence 1945-1982$93756040 997 $aUNINA
