{"product_id":"gender-and-friendship-in-chinese-wai-yee-li-9789004693371","title":"Gender and Friendship in Chinese Literature","description":"Canvasing a range of materials that include early tales of exemplarity, medieval song lyrics, Ming-Qing poetry and plucked rhymes, twentieth century writings about revolutionaries, opera stars, missionaries, and contemporary fiction, this volume illustrates the discourse and representation of friendship in which women gain agency and participate in broader arguments about ethics, politics, and religious transcendence. Friendship prompts reflections on gender roles, becomes the venue of literary self-consciousness, and heightens the sense of literary community. Gender and community function in new ways through the public dimension of friendship, and most importantly, the intersections of gender and friendship enable us to rethink other relationships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wai-Yee Li\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004693378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004693371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Wai-Yee Li","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46173255631103,"sku":"9789004693371","price":151.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45b3f023-a594-4476-a4f2-5af961b4be82.jpg?v=1727180439","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-and-friendship-in-chinese-wai-yee-li-9789004693371","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
