The theorizing and writing of English literary modernity took place in the midst of the famous quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns. Eun Kyung Min argues that this quarrel was in part a debate about the value of Chinese culture and that a complex cultural awareness of China shaped the development of a 'national' literature in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England by pushing to new limits questions of comparative cultural value and identity. Writers including Defoe, Addison, Goldsmith, and Percy wrote China into genres such as the novel, the periodical paper, the pseudo-letter in the newspaper, and anthologized collections of 'antique' English poetry, inventing new formal strategies to engage in this wide-ranging debate about what defined modern English identity. 505 0 $a Introduction: China and the modern: redefining English literary modernity -- China between the ancients and the moderns -- Robinson Crusoe and the Great Wall of China -- The new, uncommon, or strange: China in the spectator -- Oliver Goldsmith's serial Chinaman -- Thomas Percy's Chinese miscellanies and the reliques of ancient English poetry. 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a English literature $x Chinese influences. 651 0 $a China $x In literature. 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a English literature $x Chinese influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912021 650 7 $a English literature $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912200 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212015526.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CCAD1DAE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
