Comparative Journeys: Essays on Literature and Religion East and West
Throughout his academic career, Anthony C. Yu has employed a comparative approach to literary analysis that pays careful attention to the religious and philosophical elements of Chinese and Western texts. His mastery of both canons remains unmatched in the field, and his immense knowledge of the contexts that gave rise to each tradition supplies the foundations for ideal comparative scholarship. In these essays, Yu explores the overlap between li…
China and the Problem of Human Rights: Ancient Verities and Modern Realities
The six sections of the essay discuss recurrent issues relative to the modern advocacy of human rights and the vicissitudes of the Chinese response—universal standards versus cultural and historical particularity, individualism versus community, traditional Confucian ethics versus Western modernism, nativism versus foreign influence, the stability of the social order versus individual well-being, and the possibility of developing a view of rights…

Rereading the Stone: Desire and the Making of Fiction in Dream of the Red Chamber
18th-century Hongloumeng, known in English as Dream of the Red Chamber or The Story of the Stone is considered to be one of the greatest of Chinese novels, blending realism and romance, psychological motivation and fate, daily life and mythical occurences, as it narrates the decline of a powerful Chinese family. This study examines the novel as a story about fictive representation. Through literary devices, the novel challenges the authority of h…

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.

Heroic Verse and Heroic Mission: Dimensions of the Epic in theHsi-yu chi
To perceive more fully the particular meaning and aesthetic power of theHsi-yu chi, it is necessary to examine more closely certain of its features hitherto ignored in criticism. One such feature is the vast amount of poetic "insertions" within the narrative. Though the mixture of prose and poetry is common in classic Chinese fiction, and has its antecedents in thepien-wentexts and in the popular stories and dramas of earlier periods, the poetry …

"Narrative Structure and the Problem of Chapter Nine in The "Hsi-Yu Chi
Whether the story about the Ch'en Kuang-jui, the father of Tripitaka, belongs to the “original” version of the Hsi-yu chi (chapter 9 in modern editions of the novel) is a problem which has occupied the attention of scholars and editors for at least two and a half centuries. If we accept the conclusions of Professor Glen Dudbridge, who has done in recent years the most intensive and impressive examination of the novel's textual history, it would a…
