Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

The course aims to develop insights into one of the world's major civilisations in its modern transformations; to develop an understanding of 20th-century China through one of its chief modes of expression: formal written literature in a self-consciously modern mode; to develop skills in the appreciation and analysis of literary works within the limitations imposed by translation; to develop the communicative skills of writing and discussion.
