Description

Explore the development of the Chinese novel through this comprehensive study by Thomas Zimmer. Band 2 provides a detailed look at the era from the 16th century until 1911, covering the evolution of the novel during the late imperial period. While many readers are familiar with classics like "Der Traum der roten Kammer" or "Jin Ping Mei," this work explains how these pieces fit into a much broader tradition dating back to the 16th century. This volume analyzes how the art of the novel emerged in various forms. It examines text-historical connections and how themes developed over several centuries. Because many authors of this period remained anonymous and the genre was often seen as marginal, this research offers a necessary look into the actual history of Chinese prose. It is an essential resource for those studying the literary history of the late imperial era.
