Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of the Novel is the first reference book that focuses on the development of the novel throughout the world. Entries on individual writers assess the place of that writer within the development of the novel form, explaining why and in exactly what ways that writer is importnant. Similarly, an entry on an individual novel discusses the importance of that novel not only form, analyzing the particular innovations that novel has introduced and the ways in which it has influenced the subsequent course of the genre. A wide range of topic entries explore the history, criticism, theory, production, dissemination and reception of the novel. A very important component of the Encyclopedia of the Novel is its long surveys of development of the novel in various regions of the world.

Book Synopsis Desire and Redemption: The Two Worlds in Jin Ping Mei by : Junjie Luo
Download or read book Desire and Redemption: The Two Worlds in Jin Ping Mei written by Junjie Luo and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jin Ping Mei was completed in the late 16th century, and is considered one of the masterpieces of classical Chinese fiction. Recent scholarship on Jin Ping Mei has focused on the novel0́9s representation of desire. Some critics believe that desire is depicted in this novel as originating from one or two key characters such as Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian. I differ with these critics, and contend that desire, as represented in Jin Ping Mei, is not sustained in a simple, linear relationship. Desire instead manifests itself in complex relationships between many of the individual characters. With the help of the literary theories of desire and of network, I argue that Jin Ping Mei represents desire as having a network structure. Almost no one depicted in this novel can escape from this network, and the network reproduces itself repeatedly. Using this literary model of a 0́−network of desires,0́+ I attempt to offer new perspectives of some of the topics that are frequently discussed in the Jin Ping Mei scholarship. These topics include the relationship between Ximen Qing and his women, the nature of the fates of individual characters, and the messages conveyed by the conclusion of Jin Ping Mei.

Book Synopsis Texts, Paratexts, and Contexts by : Lintao Qi
Download or read book Texts, Paratexts, and Contexts written by Lintao Qi and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the English translations and adaptations of the sixteenth century classic Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei. Acclaimed the 'No.1 Marvellous Book' of the Ming dynasty, Jin Ping Mei was banned soon after its appearance, due to the inclusion of graphically explicit sexual descriptions. So far there have been nearly a dozen English adaptations and translations of the novel. Working within the framework of Descriptive Translation Studies, this thesis provides a translational history of Jin Ping Mei in English, supported by various paratexts, including book covers, reviews, and archival materials. It also conducts textual comparisons to uncover the translation norms at work in each of the only two complete translations, namely The Golden Lotus by Clement Egerton and The Plum in the Golden Vase by David Roy, respectively. The notions of agency, habitus and capital are introduced for the examination of the transference of linguistic, literary and cultural aspects of the two translations. The project is the first systematic research effort on the English Translations of Jin Ping Mei. Given its pioneering status and interdisciplinary nature, the data, method and findings of this thesis will potentially enrich the fields of Translation Studies, Comparative Literature and Chinese Studies.

Book Synopsis Ameliorative Satire and the Seventeenth-century Chinese Novel, Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan-marriage as Retribution, Awakening the World by : Yenna Wu
Download or read book Ameliorative Satire and the Seventeenth-century Chinese Novel, Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan-marriage as Retribution, Awakening the World written by Yenna Wu and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, scholars of Chinese literature have viewed Wu Jingzi's The Scholars (ca. 1750) as the first satiric novel of Chinese literature. Yenna Wu (Chinese literature, U. of California, Riverside) counters that it was preceded by such works as Xi Zhou Sheng's Marriage as Retribution, Awakening the World (ca.1661). After arguing for the broadening of the parameters of the definition of the satiric novel and the inclusion of a number of novels previously excluded from the category, Wu devotes the bulk of the work to the presentation of Marriage as Retribution as a significant example of the satiric and examines Sheng's strategies and goals in the novel's composition.
