Theodore Huters, Professor of Chinese in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, has written extensively on twentieth-century Chinese literature and intellectual history. His work includes studies on Qian Zhongshu, Lu Xun, Qing dynasty prose and a good deal of work on intellectual developments in the late Qing dynasty. His latest book is Bringing the World Home: Appropriating the West in Late Qing and Early Republican China, a study of the way the West was figured in the work of fiction writers and reform intellectuals in the period between 1895 and 1920. He is currently researching the cultural transformation of Shanghai in the years between 1860 and 1920 and working on translating the writings of Wang Hui and Wang Xiaoming.
