This dissertation begins with an examination in retrospect on studies on travel literature worldwide in the 20th century. A review of the studies on the development of Chinese travel literature during the past two decades is provided. The contributions and achievements of these studies are delineated under the following five aspects: the role of the wanderer, the impact on studies in sociology, the literary origin of the theme of vagrancy, adolescent narrative in contemporary writing, and the influence on Chinese history. The assumption is that the 1940s is a noteworthy transition period in the research of Chinese Travel literature. The intention of this dissertation is to review the diversion of 1940s novels from traditional travel themes, and investigate their eclectic adoption of western literary influence. With a rereading and reinterpreting of the themes of travel in Chinese literature, and analyzing the logic of modernity in Chinese modern novels, my research will provide a scheme for the understanding of Chinese travel literature. There are six sections in this dissertation. Chapter One introduces the travel theme In the heritages of both Western and Chinese literature, and focuses on the cultural transformation of the theme of travel in Chinese literature of the 1940s. Chapter Two provides a rereading on Feng Zhi's short story "Wu Zixu" ("The Escape of Wu Zixu"), which consists of a rewriting of a historical story on the reflection of Romanticism in Europe in the 19th century and "Sage ideal" during the Pre-Qin Dynasty. Chapter Three discusses Hu Feng's literary criticism and New Romanticism, of which Lu Ling commented in Caizhu De Ernumen (The Rich Man's Children). Chapter Four examines the influences of Western cultural and historical movement in China in the 1940s with an indepth study of the novel Wumingshi Shugao ( Manucripts by an Anonymous Writer). Chapter Five provides four paradigms relating to travel themes, namely, "travel theme and fictional monologue" , "travel theme and the new world", "travel theme and heroism", and lastly, "travel theme and Utopianism". Chapter Six reflects on the evolvement of modem Chinese travel literature, and reexamines the travel theme in the 1940s and suggests a new literary interpretation. 6 ATTENTION: The Singapore Copyright Act applies to the use of this document.
