Gender and Friendship in Chinese Literature, edited by Wai-yee Li
From “Thoughts on March 8” to “Gap” and “The Sufferings of Liping”: Mate Selection and Marriage in Three Works by Yan’an Authors
During China’s war with Japan from 1937 to 1945, the Communist-controlled border regions in north China saw an influx of progressive, patriotic youth from other parts of the country, bringing these new arrivals into contact with officials and army officers in the Communist power structure. Marriage was one potential outcome of such interactions, but while offering certain advantages it was often seen as problematic, with questions raised about th…

Marriage and Mourning in Early-Qing Tributes to Wives
This paper examines a range of texts from the early Qing period in which husbands pay tribute to their wives, looking closely at three contrasting pairs of cases: works written by An Zhiyuan (1628-1701) and Pu Songling (1640-1715), who enjoyed long and happy marriages, by Chen Gongyin (1631-1700) and Xu Fang (1619-71), associated with the Ming loyalist cause, and by Chen Weisong (1626-82) and Chen Que (1604-77), stricken by guilt over their wives…

"Rulin waishi" and Cultural Transformation in Late Imperial China
Jiang Yingke's Place in the Gong'an School
Of the many late-Ming authors whose work deserves fuller study, one of the most interesting and appealing is surely Jiang Yingke (zi Jinzhi, hao Luluo, 1553–1605). Although Jonathan Chaves some years ago drew attention to his key role in promoting the ideas of the Gong'an school (Chaves 1983), Jiang's place in literary history has until recently been largely overshadowed by the figures of the Yuan brothers, who are typically seen as forming the c…
