Chinese-American translator Wang Chi-chen (1899–2001) was a pioneer in the English translation of Chinese literary classics. In the 1940s, he translated, edited, and published five Chinese literary classics, including Dream of the Red Chamber, which allowed Western readers to understand China at the time. In his later years, he also translated a handful of ancient Chinese classics of thought, such as Liezi and two short stories by the Taiwanese writer Chen Ruoxi, and abridged and translated Mirror Flower Fate, among others, into English. Combining textual analysis and empirical investigation, this book analyzes the different translation strategies and translation methods adopted by Wang Chi-chen's English translations of several Chinese literary classics, examines the effects of the translations both within and outside the translation, and explains Wang Chi-chen's translator behavior.
