Wang, Qijian. "The History of American Literature Translation in China," American Studies Program, New York University, May 1995.
This dissertation is a study of why and how American literary works have been translated in China, how Chinese culture and politics have influenced the selection and translation process, and how the works, in turn, have influenced Chinese politics, literature, and ideology. Close analysis of the works which managed to get translated and the numbers published shows that American literature ended up having a far greater influence on Chinese society than the scholar-bureaucrats who tried to control the influence anticipated. American literature, in fact, has succeeded to some degree in undermining the Confucian ideology and other forms of official doctrines.
