Liliane Willens

Liliane Willens was born of Russian parentage in the former French Concession of Shanghai, China. Her parents, she and her siblings experienced World War II under the Japanese military occupation, and later the Chinese civil war between the Nationalists and the communists. While waiting for her US immigration visa, Liliane lived two years under the newly established People’s Republic of China.

When Liliane immigrated to the US, she studied at Boston University where she received her undergraduate degree, M.A. and Ph.D. in French Language and 18th century French Literature. Dr. Willens taught these subjects at Boston College and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She published a book on Voltaire and several articles on 18th century France. Later moving to Washington, DC, she worked for the US Agency for International Development and Peace Corps.

When she retired she gave talks on cruise ships sailing around the world, and presently lectures on China and Old Shanghai in the greater Washington, DC area, in various cities in the US and overseas.

Dr. Willens’s book Stateless in Shanghai has been published in Chinese and in German.

This illustrated talk will explore the way that the families of two children who would go on to become leading twentieth century novelists became swept up in the dramatic events of 1900. It will also look at what some letters to a New York literary agent from Pearl Buck and Lao She, which are held at an archive in New York, reveal about the interactions between the two in the 1940s. This will be a sequel of sorts to a talk on Buffalo Bill and the Boxers that the same presenter gave at M in 2016, but no familiarity with that presentation or with the events of the Boxer Crisis or the lives of Pearl Buck and Lao She will be presumed.
