    I used Literature and Society for my independent research class last year, not bad. The only thing is allot of the difficult vocabulary you will learn is no longer used today, so ask your professor which words are relevant.

    Is there a lot of classical Chinese? Is that what you mean?

    No, its not classical Chinese, but it was Chinese that was used in 1920 and 1930, or 白话文, consequently not much of it is used today. Anything goes is all new stuff, my favorite is the article titled 美女经济

    Trust me if you started talking like 鲁迅 or 胡适 did during that time Chinese people would laugh at you and say 这种说有点过时了吧！现在我们不这么说
