Abstract
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Chinese Comparative Literature emerged along with China’s modern literature. As the founder of China’s modern literature, Lu Xun noted: the aim of the new literature is to “externally speaking, prevent ourselves from trailing behind the rest of the world in terms of intellectual developments.”
Written for France’s Journal of Comparative Literature: Special Issue on China
