About the Book

Lu Xun (1881-1936), China's greatest modern writer, remains important today both as an official icon and a patron saint of dissent. This book deals with Lu Xun's struggle to make sense of the "Darwinian Revolution." It illuminates not only Lu Xun's thought, but also the current crisis in Chinese thought caused by the loss of faith in Marxism.

About the Author :
James Reeve Pusey is Associate Professor of Chinese Studies at Bucknell University. His previous work includes China and Charles Darwin and Wu Han: Attacking the Present Through the Past.

Review :
"This is a very courageous interpretation of Lu Xun, the most important and influential literary and social critic of modern China. Pusey takes the reader through a careful reading and discussion of Lu Xun's works and scholarship about him to establish 'the real Lu Xun' in contrast to the one enshrined in official Chinese ideology since the mid-1930s. To establish Lu Xun's relationship to Darwinian thought, Pusey also analyzes not only the writings of Darwin but also such thinkers as Ernst Haeckel, Konrad Lorenz, Stephen Jay Gould, and Edward O. Wilson who have constructed various 'ethics' upon Darwinian assumptions. No one knows as much about Darwinism in China as Pusey and he puts it to good use here." -- Hoyt Cleveland Tillman, Arizona State University
