Ch'ên Shou-yiШаблон:Efn (Шаблон:Lang-zh; 1899–1978) was a Chinese-American[1] literary historian and cultural studies scholar. He is known for his contributions to the comparative cultural studies of China and the West. He was a professor at Pomona College in Claremont, California from 1941 to 1967.
Early life and education
Chen was born in 1899 to a well-known literati family in Panyu, Guangdong, China,[2] and received a traditional Confucian education before college.[3] He completed his undergraduate studies at Canton Christian College in Guangzhou in 1920 and earned his doctorate in comparative literature from the University of Chicago in 1929.[2]
Career
In the 1920s, Chen was influential in the New Culture Movement under Hu Shih.[4]
Chen was the chair of the history department at Peking University in Beijing from 1931 to 1937.[2] In 1936, he took a sabbatical as a visiting professor at Pomona College in Claremont, California, but upon his return to China was confronted with the Second Sino-Japanese War.[5]
Chen took a position at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in 1937.[5] In 1941, he returned to Pomona as a professor, a position he held until his retirement in 1967.[5]
In 1961, Chen published Chinese Literature: A Historical Introduction (Ronald Press), the second English language survey of Chinese literature after Herbert Giles' 1901 A History of Chinese Literature. Academic reviewers praised the work's wide breadth and attempt to fill a hole in the academic literature, but many criticized its lack of scholarly analysis and poor editing.[6][7][8][9][10]
Later life and death
Chen retired in 1967, but kept going to his office each day to continue his research.[11] He died of illness in 1978.[11] His family donated his papers to the Claremont Colleges' library, where they are kept in the special collections department.[11]
Recognition and legacy
Chen received widespread recognition for his scholarly work. He was elected a member of Academia Sinica, the highest honor given to academics in the Republic of China.[12]
Chen is credited with helping to develop the Asian studies programs at Pomona and the other Claremont Colleges.[5]
