This dissertation examines the reception of G. B. Shaw in China over the past eight decades. Despite changes in political regime, cultural values, official literary policy and aesthetic criteria, Shaw has remained an influential figure in China. His comparatively secure and stable reputation reflects the fact that useful and even kindred qualities in Shaw have often been recognized by Chinese critics and cultural authorities. Significantly, the onset of Shaw's reception in China more or less coincides with the efforts of Chinese reformers to strengthen the country culturally during the early years of this century. Shaw came to be seen as an author whose work (and even life) spoke to the concerns of a new generation of Chinese intellectuals, who tried to use Shaw for their own ends of modernizing their country.

520 $a This dissertation examines the reception of G. B. Shaw in China over the past eight decades. Despite changes in political regime, cultural values, official literary policy and aesthetic criteria, Shaw has remained an influential figure in China. His comparatively secure and stable reputation reflects the fact that useful and even kindred qualities in Shaw have often been recognized by Chinese critics and cultural authorities. Significantly, the onset of Shaw's reception in China more or less coincides with the efforts of Chinese reformers to strengthen the country culturally during the early years of this century. Shaw came to be seen as an author whose work (and even life) spoke to the concerns of a new generation of Chinese intellectuals, who tried to use Shaw for their own ends of modernizing their country.
520 $a My investigation into the ways in which Shaw's work and life were "appropriated" covers four historical moments in modern China when specific social and political conditions made him a special object of interest. These moments are: first, the May Fourth Movement when Shaw's plays substantially affected the radical rethinking of the function of drama in China at this time. Secondly, in 1933, when Shaw paid a visit to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing at a time of great domestic and international turmoil. As a result, an essentially informal and personal visit turned into a grand political event. Thirdly, the centenary commemoration of Shaw in Beijing in 1956, which was used as a form of socialist propaganda. And, finally, in the post-Mao era, the 1991 stage production of Major Barbara in a prestigious theater in Beijing at a time when great changes were occurring in the reception and evaluation of Shaw's work. The examination of these four highly significant historical moments shows, among other things, how extraliterary elements have exerted a powerful influence on the reading of Shaw in China---with Shaw here serving as a model for the reception of a major Westerner in the context of a non-Western culture that was in the process of redefining itself.
