Literature and Revolution in Modern China

Lu Xun, Leon Trotsky, and Chen Duxiu
More than twenty years after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the disappearance of Marxism as a (supposed) state ideology, this peer-reviewed book series attempts to meet the need for a serious and long-term Marxist book publishing program by releasing original monographs, newly translated texts, and reprints of "classics."

Literature and Revolution in Modern China sets out to rescue Lu Xun from the distortion of his legacy by the Chinese Communist literary establishment, Mao Zedong, and Stalinism.

The book reconstructs Lu Xun’s literary theory and political position within its historical context, considering Trotsky’s literary theory and his relationship with the Chinese Trotskyists and the Chinese Communist Party. In doing so, Nagahori Yuzo corrects errors and shortcomings in conventional studies of Lu Xun. At the same time, the book aims to show how Lu Xun was used by the Chinese Communists and Mao Zedong for political purposes, beginning in the Yan’an years and culminating during the Cultural Revolution.
