《被压抑的现代性：晚清小说新论》是著名学者王德威的一部论述晚清小说的著作。这部著作关注一向不受重视的晚清小说，发掘其中“被压抑的现代性”，从而追寻中国现代文学“众生喧哗”的起源：没有晚清，何来五四?
在中国叙事文学的研究里，晚清小说一向较少受到重视。但不论从历史、美学、意识形态还是文化生产的角度来看，此一时期的小说所显现的活力及复杂面向，都足以让人大开眼界。尤其对治现代文学者而言，晚清小说岂止仅代表一个从传统到现代过渡阶段;它的出现，还有它的被忽视，本身就已经见证了中国文学现代性之一端。
哈佛大学东亚系暨比较文学系讲座教授王德威的《被压抑的现代性：晚清小说新论》借“五四”以来已有的研究成果，试图对晚清小说做更深入的考察。作者将“晚清”的时代范围扩及鸦片战争以后，并力求打破以往“四大小说”或“新小说”式的僵化论述。文本诠释之外，本书更将晚清小说视为一个新兴文化场域，就其中的世变与维新、历史与想象、国族意识与主体情操、文学生产技术与日常生活实践等议题，展开激烈对话。书中的四章专论——狎邪、侠义公案、丑怪谴责、科幻奇谭——因此不限于文类研究，而是指向四种相互交错的话语：欲望、正义、价值、真理。这四种话语的重新定义与辩难，适足以呈现20世纪中国文学及文化建构的主要关怀。
这本书共有六章，第一章描述晚清小说得以兴起的历史与理论环境;第二章探讨晚清狎邪小说如何僭越情色、感伤的成规，并重新界定爱欲、情感范畴。第三章审思侠义公案小说的热潮，如何暗暗重塑传统对法律正义与诗学正义的论述;第四章探究晚清谴责小说以说教姿态批判社会百态。第五章讨论的文类为科幻奇谭;第六章则总结晚清小说多重现代性的范围，转而关注20世纪八九十年代文坛的若干迹象。
这本书初版于2005年，在学界引起广泛反响。此次出版增订本，增加作者的新文章《没有五四，何来晚清》，补充了反向维度的深层思考。
