This research paper: A 10 page book review that profiles this text. In the preface to his book Shanghai Modern, author Leo Ou-Fan Lee summarizes his text concisely in one sentence: "This is a book about the city of Shanghai in the 1930s as a cultural matrix of Chinese modernity" (Lee xi). Unlike many Western scholars who have written about Shanghai, Lee offers an "insider's point of view" by looking primarily at Chinese material, that is, "literary journals, newspapers as well as works by individual authors and scholars" in order to construct a "picture of Shanghai's urban culture at the height of its splendor" (Lee xi). Examination of this text shows that Lee succeeded admirably in his goal, as the reader acquires from Lee a nuanced, multi-level perspective on Shanghai culture during this period. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
