A historical and bibliographical study of the reception and interpretation of Freud's ideas in China and an analysis of the use of these ideas in literature and literary criticism. Combining original historical research with a sensitivity to the interpretive issues raised by both fictional and expository texts, this study covers a wide range of Chinese translations, popularizations, and critical materials about psychoanalysis as well as many fictional works from the period.
