Hu Shi's life touched virtually every important aspect of society in 20th century China. This title explores the lesser-known side of this supporter of John Dewey's philosophy and reconstructs his romance with Edith Clifford Williams, an American avant-garde painter, by delving into the correspondences the two exchanged over almost half a century.
