Abstract

The name of Qian Zhongshu should have been familiar to literary scholars in the international communities. He was made an honorary member of the Modern Language Association of America in 1985. Qian Zhongshu may be said to represent the best of humanistic scholarship in twentieth-century China, a scholarship deeply entrenched in the tradition of more than 3,000 years of Chinese culture, on the one hand, and, on the other, profoundly influenced by the culture of the West. Qian Zhongshu studied English at Tsinghua University in Beijing and Exeter College, Oxford, where he earned his B. Litt. degree in 1937 with a thesis on China in the English literature of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Qian Zhongshu passed away in December 1998, and his unfinished manuscripts and notes were later published in their original, unedited form as facsimile reproductions.
