It always has, of course, but more so when we want to reap the benefits of intercultural communication. In many universities Chinese literature in English translation is taught as if it had been written in English. As a result, students submit what they read to their own cultural expectations; they do not read in translation and do not attend to the protocols of knowing, engagements and contestations that bind literature and society to each other. \u003ci\u003eThe Bloomsbury Handbook of\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e Modern \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eChinese Literature in Translation \u003c\/i\u003esquarely addresses this pedagogical lack. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOrganised in a tripartite structure around considerations of textual, social, and large-scale spatial and historical circumstances, its thirty plus essays each deal with a theme of translation studies, as emerged from the translation of one or more Chinese literary works. In doing so, it offers new tools for reading and appreciating modern and contemporary Chinese literature in the global context of its translation, offering in-depth studies about eminent Chinese authors and their literary masterpieces in translation.
