The Preface to Giuliano Bertuccioli’s volume “La letteratura cinese” (L’Asino d’oro edizioni, 2013) integrates the original contents of this masterpiece of Italian sinological studies with some themes and subjects that were formerly neglected. In particular, it provides an overview of the archaeological findings of the last four decades, that in some cases modified our understanding and knowledge of Chinese ancient language and literature. Then it focuses of women’s literature in imperial China, retracing the story of some female authors whose writings actively contributed to shape the history of Chinese literature as we know it today. Finally, it examines the poetic and narrative innovations that occurred between the last decades of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th. According to recent researches, this period paved the way for the so-called modern literature; its production is thus defined as pre-modern literature.
La Prefazione della curatrice ripercorre la produzione letteraria cinese, dalle origini all'avvento della modernità, alla luce di alcune ricerche degli ultimi decenni, soffermandosi dapprima sulle nuove prospettive aperte sulla letteratura antica dai recenti ritrovamenti archeologici, ripercorrendo poi la produzione letteraria femminile del periodo imperiale, per arrivare infine alle novità contenutistiche e stilistiche della poesia e della prosa di fine Ottocento e inizio Novecento, novità che precorsero e anticiparono la ben più nota letteratura cinese moderna.

Abstract
The Preface to Giuliano Bertuccioli’s volume “La letteratura cinese” (L’Asino d’oro edizioni, 2013) integrates the original contents of this masterpiece of Italian sinological studies with some themes and subjects that were formerly neglected. In particular, it provides an overview of the archaeological findings of the last four decades, that in some cases modified our understanding and knowledge of Chinese ancient language and literature. Then it focuses of women’s literature in imperial China, retracing the story of some female authors whose writings actively contributed to shape the history of Chinese literature as we know it today. Finally, it examines the poetic and narrative innovations that occurred between the last decades of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th. According to recent researches, this period paved the way for the so-called modern literature; its production is thus defined as pre-modern literature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
