Between the 1921 socialist revolution and the first Writers’ Congress held in April 1948, the literary community constituted a key resource in the formation and implementation of policy. At the same time, debates within the party, discontent among the population, and questions of religion and tradition led to personal and ideological conflict among the intelligentsia and, in many cases, to trials and executions. Using primary texts, many of them translated into English for the first time, Simon Wickhamsmith shows the role played by the literary arts — poetry, fiction and drama — in the complex development of the ‘new society’, helping to bring Mongolia’s nomadic herding population into the utopia of equality, industrial progress and social well-being promised by the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party.Country/Region of Manufacture: NLBook Series: North East Asian StudiesISBN-10: 9462984751Genre: Literary CriticismTopic: Law & Politics, Society & Culture, Social SciencesEdition: 0Release Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
