Historian of the Strange: Pu Songling and the Chinese Classical Tale

Historian of the Strange: Pu Songling and the Chinese Classical Tale

Author
Judith T. Zeitlin
Publication Year

"Zeitlin’s work – including her more recent book The Phantom Heroine – is rewarding reading for scholars outside the field of Chinese literature as well as within; she is acutely aware of European parallels, and at the same time, very invested in creating a thick interdisciplinary texture that draws from art history, history, performance studies, and history of medicine."

Recommended by Sophie Volpp, Professor of Comparative Literature and author of Worldly Stage: Theatricality in Seventeenth-Century China.
