      abstract = {"Kay Li's study of Bernard Shaw's relationship with a  number of leading Chinese figures and the assimilation of  his plays into Chinese culture is a significant addition to  her important previous work on Shaw and China. This new  book expertly situates Shaw in wide-ranging spheres of  Chinese culture, while also demonstrating the complexities  of cross-cultural literary relations. It is a major  contribution not just to Shaw studies but to  interdisciplinary approaches to cultural dialogue."--Leaf  W. Conolly, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Emeritus  Professor of English, Trent University, Ontario, Canada and  Honorary Fellow, Robinson College, University of Cambridge,  UK This book explores the cultural bridges connecting  George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries, such as Charles  Dickens and Arthur Miller, to China. Analyzing readings,  adaptations, and connections of Shaw in China through the  lens of Chinese culture, Li details the negotiations  between the focused and culturally specific standpoints of  eastern and western culture while also investigating the  simultaneously diffused, multi-focal, and comprehensive  perspectives that create strategic moments that favor  cross-cultural readings. With sources ranging from Shaw's  connections with his contemporaries in China to  contemporary Chinese films and interpretations of Shaw in  the digital space, Li relates the global impact of not only  what Chinese lenses can reveal about Shaw's world, but how  intercultural and interdisciplinary readings can shed new  light on familiar and obscure works alike.},
