About this Item

First edition, 8vo, pp. vi, [2], 285, [1]; fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Issued as volume 2 in the publisher's Masters of Chinese Studies series. "The eleven research essays in this volume, although written as independent pieces, share a common subject, Chinese fiction of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly its relationship to the Chinese and western traditions. (The western tradition gradually became accessible to Chinese writers during the period.) This approach embraces influence as well as intertextuality, imitation as well as originality, and also intercultural transmission-a cluster of notions for which I would like to borrow the old term "literary relations," but with a new meaning" (introduction).
