Abstract: Based on the recognition of the intertextuality between Eileen Chang's debut novel Eaglewood Incense: The First Incense Burner and Bernard Shaw's play Mrs. Warren's Profession,this paper holds that Chang rewrote Shaw's play by remodeling the leading character Vivian into Weilong. From the perspective of “fallen” women,Chang dived into the psychological struggle of the Weilong's inner world by exhibiting her inner dialogue. The intertextuality with Eaglewood Incense: The First Incense Burner can also be found in other texts and historical culture context. Such intertextual rewriting strategy was frequently applied by Shaw. Considering Chang's reception of Shaw, the paper therefore concludes that the influence of Shaw on Chang lies in the writing strategy rather than detailed similarities of the texts. Stimulating intertextual reading, the strategy creates a chain interaction among texts and thus extend their vitality.
