DAVIES GLORIA
Lu Xun's Revolution: Writing In A Time Of Violence
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Widely recognized as modern China's preeminent man of letters Lu Xun 1881-1936 is revered as the voice of a nation's conscience a writer comparable to Shakespeare and Tolstoy in stature and influence. Gloria Davies's portrait now gives readers a better sense of this influential author by situating the man Mao Zedong hailed as "the sage of modern China" in his turbulent time and place. In Davies's vivid rendering we encounter a writer passionately engaged with the heady arguments and intrigues of a country on the eve of revolution. She traces political tensions in Lu Xun's works which reflect the larger conflict in modern Chinese thought between egalitarian and authoritarian impulses. During the last phase of Lu Xun's career the so-called "years on the left" we see how fiercely he defended a literature in which the people would speak for themselves and we come to understand why Lu Xun continues to inspire the debates shaping China today. Although Lu Xun was never a Communist his legacy was fully enlisted to support the Party in the decades following his death. Far from the apologist of political violence portrayed by Maoist interpreters however Lu Xun emerges here as an energetic opponent of despotism a humanist for whom empathy not ideological zeal was the key to achieving revolutionary ends. Limned with precision and insight Lu Xun's Revolution is a major contribution to the ongoing reappraisal of this foundational figure. Gloria Davies is a literary scholar and historian of China at Monash University in Australia. She is also Adjunct Director of the Australian Centre on China in the World at the Australian National University.

She deals frankly and comprehensively with Lu Xun's most prominent critics and notes how he handled them with intensity and agility. She has much to say as well about his theories of writing�how he decried political rhetoric despised romantic fiction and saw the moral ambiguity of revolutionary writing. She also reproduces his list of eight tips for aspiring writers."�Kirkus Reviews "As the recognized founder of modern Chinese literature and arguably the central intellectual figure in China and much of East Asia throughout the twentieth century and even up to the present day the influence of Lu Xun is difficult to overestimate and so it logically follows is the significance of this book. Gloria Davies has taken a tripartite approach: she assesses Lu Xun from a literary linguistic and intellectual angle and does so with elegant precision. No one has treated Lu Xun as an essayist�particularly in the last ten years of his life�as well and as sensitively as Davies has here."�Jon Eugene von Kowallis author of The Lyrical Lu Xun "There is a wealth of insights in Lu Xun's Revolution and I applaud Gloria Davies for such thorough and conscientious efforts in plowing through all the sources of the later Lu Xun. Davies has not only carefully gone through all the controversies on the leftist literary front in Lu Xun's time; she has brought the relevance of Lu Xun's essays to the present world. I have always lamented the fact that many Lu Xun scholars including myself do not do full justice to the later Lu Xun. Now the record is being set straight."�Leo Ou-Fan Lee author of The Voices of Iron House: A Study of Lu Xun Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2013 hardcover

Davies John Paton
China Hand: An Autobiography
8vo, hardcover dj .At the height of the McCarthyite hysteria of the 1950s,john Paton Davies,jr., was summoned to the State Department one morning and fired. His offense? The career diplomat had counseled the U.S. government during World War II that the Communist forces in China were poised to take over the country~ which they did, in 1949. Davies joined the thousands of others who became the victims of a political maelstrom that engulfed the country and deprived the United States of the wisdom and guidance of an entire generation of East Asian diplomats and scholars. The son of American missionaries, Davies was born in China at the turn of the twentieth century. Educated in the United States, he joined the ranks of the newly formed Foreign Service in the 1930s and returned to China, where he would remain until nearly the end of World War II. During that time he became one of the first Americans to meet and talk with the young revolutionary known as Mao Zedong. He documented the personal excesses and political foibles of Chinese Nationalist leader Chiang Kai~shek. As a political aide to General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell, the wartime commander of the Allied forces in East and South Asia, he traveled widely in the region, meeting with colonial India's Nehru and Gandhi to gauge whether their animosity to British rule would translate into support for Japan. Davies ended the war serving in Moscow with George F. Kennan, the architect of America's policy toward the Soviet Union. Kennan found in Davies a lifelong friend and colleague. Neither, however, was immune to the virulent anticommunism of the immediate postwar years. China Hand is the story of a man who captured with wry and judicious insight the times in which he lived, both as observer and as actor. John Paton Davies,Jr. (1908~99) was a Foreign Service officer in the U.S. Department of State from 1931 to 1954. He was also the author of Foreign and Other Affairs and Dragon by the Tail: American, British,Japanese, and Russian Encounters with China and One Another
