This volume, written by young and established scholars, surveys the role of China in Scottish literature, and the translation and reception of Scottish literature in China. Part 1 considers how the image of China has been constructed by Scottish writers. Topics include the translation of classical and contemporary Chinese literature, into both Scots and English, and orientalist tropes in Scottish fiction. Part 2 discusses how Chinese translators, over a turbulent century, have rendered into Chinese the work of writers from Robert Burns to David Greig. It also shows how commercial success in today's China can shape a writer's career.
