About the author

Shi Xingguo is an author about whom limited public information is available. Three of this author's works are held in the collection, spanning categories such as documentary literature, foreign literature, and folk literature. Representative works include Yesterday's World: Memoirs of a European, Rilke's Collected Works, Volume 9: Worpswede, Auguste Rodin, and Rilke's Collected Works (Volume 8): Drama (1895–1901). These titles suggest that Shi Xingguo's writing and editorial work centers largely on modern and contemporary European literature and art, touching on a major poet such as Rilke as well as a sculptor such as Rodin, and also involving the editing of a European memoir. Overall, the output leans toward the translation and introduction of foreign literature and documentary writing, with a pronounced cultural-historical and art-historical character. Because biographical and identity information is lacking, no further account of the author's personal life can be given at present.
