About Book

Emerging from the Surface of History is a classic work that systematically applies a feminist perspective to the history of modern Chinese women's literature. Drawing on psychoanalytic, structural, and poststructuralist theories, this book offers an in-depth analysis of nine major modern female writers, including Lu Yin, Bing Xin, Ding Ling, and Zhang Ailing, through its thesis on writers. It also charts the formation and development of the tradition of women's writing within the broader historical and cultural context of modern China. This organic fusion of theoretical approaches, textual analysis, and historical description reveals the key characteristics of women's writing across different periods and dimensions, as well as its unique position within the landscape of modern literary history. Since its publication in 1989, this book has had a widespread impact and has been hailed as a landmark work in the emergence of Chinese women's criticism and theoretical discourse from the historical perspective.
