By juxtaposing love with cosmopolitanism, her sensitive readings underscore both their transformative potential and inexhaustible appeal.” —Rey Chow, Andrew W.

In demonstrating the fascinating affinity between the two writers, Sijia Yao emphasizes the cross-cultural nature of their achievement. \u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan Love\u003c\/i\u003e is notable for its compelling theoretical foundation and insightful close readings.” —Keith Cushman, Professor Emeritus of English at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and recipient of the Harry T.
