This thesis is a tentative description and discussion of the publishing situation of translating modern and contemporary Chinese literature into English. The emphasis is placed on four aspects, namely the publication and spread, the marketing and its effect, the feedback from different groups of readership, and joint ventures by Chinese and foreign publishers. In doing so, the brief history of publishing English translations of modern Chinese literature is laid bare, revealing its success and failure.
