Spatial Stories and Intersecting Geographies: Hong Kong, Britain, and China, 1890-1940 provides a fresh account of the literary and journalistic connection between Hong Kong, China, and Britain, and the different forms of literary production and cross-cultural encounters that emerged from 1890 to 1940. Through close reading of literary texts written by Hong Kong, British, and Chinese writers, as well as archival research of under-explored periodicals, historical and biographical materials, it critically examines the various forms of transnational encounters, networks, and fissures in these places that were historically connected since the second half of the nineteenth century.
