Title An Analysis of Gone with the Wind’s Reception in China
Abstract
This article analyzes Gone with the Wind’s reception in the academic communities in
China, sums up several research directions, ideas and puts forward some of the
limitations and shortcomings of Chinese studies. The process of Gone with the Wind’s
reception from a popular fiction to an eternal classic reveals that reception is a
synchronic behavior and it is also a diachronic process reflecting the social ideology
across different times. The article focuses on different stages of academic studies, the
formation of different evaluation and various stages of development. What’s more, the
article analyzes the surface causes as well as the underlying social causes of different
reception. To look beyond the surface, this article examines and assesses the
characteristics of different comments and the causes of those since the novel entered
China and puts forward the development steps of the novel and the limitations of
Chinese academic studies for the future studies of Gone with the Wind in China to
further deepen the constructive reference.
