Description

The Age of Silver presents a groundbreaking horizontal method of comparative literature, tracing the emergence of early realism and novelistic modernity across Eastern and Western cultures from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries. Ning Ma's analysis centres on the Age of Silver as an era of economic globalisation, examining how bullion flows from South America and Japan to China through international commerce shaped transcontinental monetary and commercial evolution. The book argues that these economic shifts stimulated analogous socioeconomic changes and the development of novelistic realism across diverse cultural spheres, offering fresh perspectives on how global trade networks influenced the emergence of the novel as a literary form during this transformative historical period.

Key Features

Explores comparative literature methods applied to early realism and novelistic modernity across Eastern and Western cultures during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.

Analyses the Age of Silver era through examination of bullion flows from South America and Japan to China via international commerce networks.

Demonstrates how transcontinental monetary and commercial co-evolutions stimulated corresponding socioeconomic shifts and emergent novelistic realisms across different regions.

Published by Oxford University Press, offering scholarly rigor for literary theory and movements study within academic and critical contexts.
