Review
“This important book will be of great interest and immense use to anyone in modern Chinese cultural studies who would understand the process by which new words, meanings, discourses, and modes of representation arose, circulated, and acquired legitimacy in early modern China through contact with European and Japanese languages and literatures.” —Choice
“This book will be of interest to a wide audience and is must reading for those pursuing comparative studies.”—Viren Murthy, University of Hawaii

1.0 out of 5 stars
interesting but theoretically derivative,
This review is from: Translingual Practice: Literature, National Culture, and Translated Modernity-China, 1900-1937 (Paperback)
The thesis underlying this book is quite innovative but I found the theoretical discourses rather derivative. The books is a mosaic of ideas of others and it's hard for me to distinguish what is original and what is derivative.

reliable?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Translingual Practice: Literature, National Culture, and Translated Modernity-China, 1900-1937 (Paperback)
I find the book interesting and show it to my Japanese girl friend. But she says that the book contains some misunderstanding of the Japanese words. This book might look interesting to Chinese readers, but not convincing to the Japanese ones. I might want to confirm it and love to know what the Japanese experts think of this book.
