Description
Summary:[...]we have a group of works on poetry and more centrally poetry criticism, and how critics claim spaces for new forms and new participants at moments of change. [...]with those two cases dealing with women primarily as topic, Xu Peng presents Wang Duanshu's critical practice as claiming a wide variety of poetic models for female poets, emphasizing the quality of their poetry rather than the sentimental appeal of their life stories favored by her male contemporaries. Mark Ferrara argues for the importance of the supernatural elements of Honglou meng, often overshadowed by the novel's richly detailed description of daily life. Review articles give recent scholarship on unearthed manuscripts, late imperial novels, and kunqu performance the extended attention they deserve.
