Please use the following offer code to receive this discount: 48280 Offer ends 14th March, 2010. This month's author in focus is Maghiel van Crevel..
Maghiel van Crevel received his PhD (1996) in Chinese Literature from Leiden University. He lectured at the University of Sydney until becoming Professor of Chinese Language & Literature at Leiden in 1999. He has built an internationally- unique collection of materials on contemporary mainland-Chinese poetry: journals, individual collections, multiple-author anthologies, correspondence, audio and video recordings and so on - with ample space for the underground and unofficial circuits that paved the way for today's avant-garde, and retain their importance to this day. Van Crevel has published extensively on mainland-Chinese texts (poems), contexts (their cultural and socio-political surroundings) and metatexts (discourse on poetry), in English, Dutch and Chinese.
