Description

Chloë Starr's book offers a comprehensive literary reading of six nineteenth-century Chinese red-light novels and assesses how and why they alter our view of late Qing fiction and the authorial self. Review "Like the liminal space of the brothels, in other words, the territory of fiction-writing, rich in tradition yet marginal enough to accept flexibility, provided a ground for experimental reshapings of late Qing literati subjectivity. By detailing the contours of this congruence, Starr makes a strong case for our understanding courtesan fiction not as a tedious excrescence on the literary scene, but as a vital and even path-breaking participant in the literary and cultural developments of the late Qing." John Christopher Hamm (University of Washington), MCLC, April 2009. "...the study by Starr is excellent. A multi-perspective analysis of the many facets of late-Qing 'red-light novels', it fills a gap in the study of Chinese fiction." Rüdiger Breuer, Bochum, Orientalistische Literaturzeitung. 104 (2009) 1 About the Author Chloë Starr, DPhil (2000) in Oriental Studies, Oxford, is a Departmental Lecturer in Classical Chinese at the University of Oxford. She has published on textual and gender issues in late Qing fiction.
