Xu Xu and Wumingshi were among the most widely read authors in China during and after the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). This groundbreaking book re-establishes their importance within the popular Chinese literature of the 1940s with in-depth analyses of their innovative short stories and novels.

In this highly original and impeccably researched study, Christopher Rosenmeier redraws the boundaries of modernism in Chinese fiction, through a comparative stylistic analysis of a set of works that were previously considered to be at the opposite ends of the spectrum of "serious" and "popular" literature. His contribution to the study of the wartime authors Xu Xu and Wumingshi is especially invaluable, as these hugely important writers have received only scant attention from scholars so far.　On the Margins of Modernism　truly is a milestone and will remain a standard reference for students of Chinese modernism for many years to come.
