This is a fine book, one that makes a signal contribution to early twentieth-century Chinese social and cultural as well as intellectual history. Weili Ye has revisited an important cohort of Chinese intellectuals, insightfully analyzed them, and, perhaps most important, engagingly brought them to life for us. This work is thoroughly researched, clearly documented, and convincing in interpretations. The writing style is spotty, occasionally suffering from overstatement but often quite eloquent. |
