Maxim Gorky in the Turn of Taiwan Literature in the 1930s
During the 1930s,literature of socialist realism,exemplified by Maxim Gorky,sparked heated discussions worldwide,including in the Taiwan region.This period marked a significant shift in Taiwan's literary development,as the focus transitioned from experimenting with language forms in the 1920s to exploring the possibilities of creative practice.Through exchanges and interaction with left-wing individuals from Chinese mainland,Colonial Taiwan,and Japan,the Taiwan literary circle,then in a state of flux,was introduced to Gorky's works.Many Taiwan writers actively translated and promoted Gorky's writing.For writers living under Japanese colonial rule,Gorky,who overcame a humble background to become a great writer,served as a role model.Although some intellectuals in Taiwan initially confused new realism with socialist realism,Gorky's influence helped them grasp the two important characteristics of socialist realism:its"positive role in social life"and"revolutionary romanticism".
