Between the 1921 socialist revolution and the first Writers’ Congress held in April 1948, the literary community constituted a key resource in the formation and implementation of policy. At the same time, debates within the party, discontent among the population, and questions of religion and tradition led to personal and ideological conflict among the intelligentsia and, in many cases, to trials and executions. Using primary texts, many of them translated into English for the first time, Simon Wickhamsmith shows the role played by the literary arts — poetry, fiction and drama — in the complex development of the ‘new society’, helping to bring Mongolia’s nomadic herding population into the utopia of equality, industrial progress and social well-being promised by the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Simon Wickhamsmith’s \u003ccite\u003ePolitics and Literature in Mongolia (1921–1948)\u003c\/cite\u003e makes an important contribution to our understanding of Mongolian literature in the first three decades of the Mongolian People’s Republic.\" \u003cbr\u003e- Phillip Marzluf, \u003ccite\u003eHarvard Journal of Asiatic Studies\u003c\/cite\u003e, Vol. 82, No. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransliteration and Mongolian Names \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Prefiguring 1921 \u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: Staging a Revolution \u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Landscape Re-envisioned \u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Leftward Together \u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Society in Flux \u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Negotiating Faith \u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven: Life and its Value \u003cbr\u003eChapter Eight: The Great Opportunistic Repression \u003cbr\u003eChapter Nine: A Closer Union \u003cbr\u003eAppendix: Brief Biographies of Writers \u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"Amsterdam University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50473232073047,"sku":"9789462984752","price":121.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789462984752.jpg?v=1744905802","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/politics-and-literature-in-mongolia-1921-1948-9789462984752","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
