Description
Key Features
A Topsy-Turvy World brings together English translations of short plays spanning the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries of Chinese drama.
This Columbia University Press collection highlights experimental dramatic forms that offered Ming and Qing dynasty playwrights freedom for social critique.
The mostly one-act plays feature satirical, earthy humour and explore themes of deceit and dissembling in accessible theatrical works.
Part of the Translations from the Asian Classics series, this volume rescues overlooked shorter works from the shadow of longer southern drama traditions.
Ideal for theatre scholars and literature students seeking alternative perspectives on Chinese drama beyond canonical masterpieces.
