The Secret Garden: The Past and Present of Modern Women's Narrative Literature

"The Secret Garden: The Past and Present of Modern Women's Narrative Literature" is one book from the "Humanities Book Series" published by Joint Publishing. It was written by Taiwanese scholar Hu Siao-chen . This book explores the deep reasons behind modern women's narrative literature, using modern women's ballad novels as an example. Ballad novels - long-form narrative literature in verse - are another important literary choice for modern women outside of poetry and prose. "Secret Garden" is the spiritual world of modern women's ballad novelists. Entering the secret garden means that women have become a part of the literary world and the literary market. This book explores the key themes of "Gardens and Courtyards", "Extreme Female Characters", "Emotions and Violence", "Love, Revolution, and the Market", and "New Creative Spaces in the Radio Age", discussing how modern women enter and exit the secret garden, and what drives their creative desires.
