A Study on Chinese Singaporean Modernist Literary Movement
This study is the first local attempt to extensively and analytically study the Modernist movement in Chinese Singaporean literary history. It not only presents a comprehensive study of the major literary magazines and supplements that promoted Modernism as a new vision in the Chinese Singaporean literary field within a period of 16 years, but also includes the full texts of representative works in these Modernist literary channels to demonstrate their distinction from both local literary periodicals and supplements of Social Realism and those of Modernism in Taiwan.This pathbreaking study on Modernist Chinese Singaporean literature analyses the literary supplements of Nanyang Siang Pau, including Literary Page, Literary Miscellany, Café and Window, published in Singapore from 1967 to 1983 and 61 issues of Chao Foon Monthly, the Petaling Jaya-based literary magazine, from 1969 to 1974.
