The Beauty and the Book: Women and Fiction in Nineteenth-Century China - Harvard East Asian Monographs
Ellen Widmer
This study of Chinese women in the book trade begins with three case studies, each of which probes one facet of the relationship between women and fiction in the early 19th century. Building on these studies, the second half of the book focuses on the many sequels to the Dream of the Red Chamber and the significance of this novel for women.
