"Literary Culture in Taiwan is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of Taiwan's literary development." — Rosemary Haddon, The China Journal

"This is an important and compelling study of the production of literary culture in the last half of the twentieth century. Writing with great clarity, ranging from the telling anecdote to the broadest intellectual trends, Chang clarifies the political, cultural, and economic context that frames and constrains the evolution of a complex and increasingly diverse literary world in Taiwan." — Joseph Allen, University of Minnesota
