The Performing Arts In Contemporary China (Routledge Library Editions: Chinese Literature And Arts)

This book, first published in 1981, deals with opera, the spoken play, music, dance and cinema, describing how the Chinese adapted traditional art forms for political, social and propagandist purposes. It charts the transformations that have taken place and sets them against the development of Chinese society as a whole.
