Liu, Mingjiu. Yuguo chuang zuo ping lun ji [ID D21054].
Wong Tak-wai : First important collection of materials relating to the critical reception of Victor Hugo in China. The proceedings cover topics as historical meaning (Hernani), humanism (Les misérables, Quatrevingt-treize), romanticism (Notre-Dame de Paris), characterization techniques (Notre-Dame de Paris, Quatrevingt-treize), and literary concepts of Hugo. A chronicle of Hugo's life and works and an index to Chinese writings on Hugo.
Cao Rangtings 'Preface' provided some data about the publication of Hugo's works in Chinese and pointed out the controversial issues raised among Chinese scholars in their discussion of his works, namely, how to achieve accurate understanding of Marx and Engels' evaluation of Hugo, how to define Romanticism as a ‘creative method’ or 'writing strategy', how to determine to what extent Hugo accomplished as a Realist writer, how to evaluate the merits and drawbacks of Hugo's Humanism as reflected in his works, how to interpret Hugo’s fictional characters as metaphors or prototypes in light of his evolutionary world-view and his narrative strategy, and how to place Hugo's Romantic treatment of themes and scenes in a proper perspective for reference by the proletariat socialist writers.
