In Inheritance within Rupture, Luo Zhitian brings together ten essays to explore the themes of change and continuity, rupture and inheritance from the late Qing through the early Republic (1890s-1940s). Rejecting binaries such as tradition/modernity, conservative/liberal, Luo blurs the divisions between intellectual opponents and clarifies the divergences between scholarly friends. Centering these discussions around some of the most famous intellectual debates in the modern period, Luo challenges our understanding of ideological positions, political affiliation, and scholarly identity in early twentieth-century China. By focusing on the influence of cultural inheritance within the rupture of modernity, we come to understand those concerns shared by all Chinese in their own times and in the present.

Luo Zhitian, Ph.D. (1994), Princeton University, is the Distinguished Professor of History at Sichuan University and Professor of History at Peking University. He has published numerous monographs, edited volumes, and scholarly articles on Chinese history, including The Dream of Rebuilding Civilization: A Biography of Hu Shi (People's Publishing House, 1995).

Lane J. Harris, Ph.D. (2012), University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, is Assistant Professor of History and Asian Studies at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. His articles have appeared in the Journal of Asian Studies, Journal of Early Modern History, Frontiers of History in China, and Twentieth-Century China.

Mei Chun, Ph.D. (2005), in Chinese and Comparative Literature, Washington University in Saint Louis, is an independent scholar. Her publications include "'Garlic and Vinegar': The Narrative Significance of Verse in 'The Pearl Shirt Reencountered'" in Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews and The Novel and Theatrical Imagination in Early Modern China (Brill, 2011).
