Regional Editorial Review

**Editorial Review of "Shanghai Modern: The Flowering of a New Urban Culture in China, 1930–1945"** "Shanghai Modern" aims to unveil the rich tapestry of Shanghai’s urban culture during a transformative period in Chinese history. However, the reception of the book is mixed, with notable frustrations expressed by readers over its dry style and an overwhelming reliance on references. While some appreciate the author's effort to delve into the cultural landscape of old Shanghai—highlighting aspects such as advertisements and fiction—many find the execution lacking. Critics argue that the book reads more like a collection of summaries from other works rather than forging a new narrative or offering significant historical analysis. The focus on literary culture is viewed as an intriguing angle; however, readers expecting a comprehensive view of Shanghai's socio-political context often leave disappointed. The author’s decision to spotlight subcultures, including flaneurs, and a Considerable segment of erotic literature, fails to connect with a broader historical framework, rendering the insights less impactful. There are commendable moments throughout, such as the descriptions of the urban elite's artistic endeavors and poignant historical tidbits, but these often get lost in a sea of less relevant content. In summary, while "Shanghai Modern" provides glimpses into the city's cultural life, its heavy reference style and lack of coherent historical narrative lead many to find it more a hurdle than an informative read. The target audience seems to narrow down to those specifically interested in Chinese literature rather than history or cultural studies, where it may serve as a repository for contextual tidbits rather than a definitive resource. **
