Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change

[Dave Monroe]

Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change
Lauren R. Hartley and Patricia Schiaffini-Vedani, editors
With a foreword by Matthew T. Kapstein

"This book is a milestone. It is the first to bring together the
complex variety of ingredients that have nurtured modern Tibetan
literature. It  considers several literary genres, written in three
languages (Tibetan, Chinese, and English), and gives sensitive
attention both to Tibetan literary tradition and to the turmoil of
modern politics and social change."---Perry Link, author of /The Uses
of Literature: Life in the Socialist Chinese Literary System/

/Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change/ is the first systematic
and detailed overview of modern Tibetan literature, which has
burgeoned only in the last thirty years. This comprehensive collection
brings together fourteen pioneering scholars in the nascent field of
Tibetan literary studies, including authors who are active in the
Tibetan literary world itself. These scholars examine the literary
output of
Tibetan authors writing in Tibetan, Chinese, and English, both in
Tibet and in the Tibetan diaspora.
