Abstract

Abstract

The domestic translation and introduction of American writers Upton Sinclair and Sinclair Lewis in the 1930s is a cross-cultural event that cannot be ignored.The local enthusiasm for Upton Sinclair and indifference to Sinclair Lewis has formed a sharp contrast.This very different status of acceptance shows that as the traditional Chinese countryside has evolved to modern times,it has continuously strengthened the gentrification of the local sentiment.There has also developed a different interpretation of modern anxiety focusing on modern people's "dangerous disturbance" in urban and rural narratives.The different fate of the "Two Sinclairs" traveling in foreign lands in the 1930 s was actually due to the twoway discovery,negotiation and interaction of the nation-state,individual,and class outside and local by modern intellectuals.
