Introduction -- Modernization Through Translation: Shifts and Trends (1890s – 1900s) -- Translation as an Education in Modern Values: Yan Fu and Liang Qichao -- Making a “New Culture” Through Translation -- Translating New Culture into a Collective Identity -- Constructing the Modern Self in Translation (I) – Hu Shi -- Constructing the Modern Self in Translation (II) – Zhou Zuoren -- Constructing the Modern Self in Translation (III) – Lu Xun -- Conclusion -- References -- Appendix.

This book examines the development of Chinese translation practice in relation to the rise of ideas of modern selfhood in China from the 1890s to the 1920s. The key translations produced by late Qing and early Republican Chinese intellectuals over the three decades in question reflect a preoccupation with new personality ideals informed by foreign models and the healthy development of modern individuality, in the face of crises compounded by feelings of cultural inadequacy. The book clarifies how these translated works supplied the meanings for new terms and concepts that signify modern human experience, and sheds light on the ways in which they taught readers to internalize the idea of the modern as personal experience. Through their selection of source texts and their adoption of different translation strategies, the translators chosen as case studies championed a progressive view of the world: one that was open-minded and humanistic. The late Qing construction of modern Chinese identity, instigated under the imperative of national salvation in the aftermath of the First Sino-Japanese War, wielded a far-reaching influence on the New Culture discourse. This book argues that the New Culture translations, being largely explorations of modern self-consciousness, helped to produce an egalitarian cosmopolitan view of modern being. This was a view favoured by the majority of mainland intellectuals in the post-Maoist 1980s and which has since become an important topic in mainland scholarship.
