| Sumario: | Ye Xiaoqing has based this study on the Dianshizhai' sdetailed illustrations of everyday life at home, in commercial establishments, and in Shanghai's public areas. Her introduction to the more than one hundred drawings presented here points to the social background, lifestyle, and intellectual outlook of the Dianshizhai's literati writers and artists, the weakness of gentry control in the foreign settlements, and the commercialization and "modern" material culture that made Shanghai distinctive. The drawings and commentaries of the Dianshizhai contrast the settlements with "traditional" culture and urban life in the adjacent Chinese city and vividly convey items of interest - from the quotidian to the bizarre - highlighting local fascination with and anxiety at the rapid changes in Shanghai's increasingly cosmopolitan society. |
