Shanghai Modern: The Flowering of a New Urban Culture in China, 1930-1945 Paperback - 1999
by Leo Ou-Fan Lee
From the rear cover
THIS BOOK IMMERSES US in the golden age of Shanghai urban culture, a modernity at once intrinsically Chinese and profoundly anomalous, blending new and indigenous ideas with those flooding into this "treaty port" from the Western world. Leo Ou-fan Lee gives us a wide-angle view of Shanghai culture in the making. He shows us the architecture and urban spaces in which the new commercial culture flourished, then guides us through the publishing and filmmaking industries that nurtured a whole generation of artists and established a bold new style in urban life. In the work of six writers of the time, particularly Shi Zhecun, Mu Shiying, and Eileen Chang, Lee discloses the reflection of Shanghai's urban landscape -- foreign and familiar, oppressive and seductive, traditional and innovative.
