Chinese Narrative: Critical and Theoretical Essays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780691609928)

Although Chinese narrative, and especially the genres of colloquial fiction, have been subjected to intensive scholarly scrutiny, no comprehensive volume has provided a framework that would permit an overall view of the tradition. The distinguished contributors to this volume have taken an important first step in making possible the consideration of Chinese narrative at the level of comparative and general literary scholarship.

Originally published in 1977.
