Reviews

McMahon is able to speak with authority about the characteristics of the eighteenth-century Chinese vernacular novel... He gives us a fuller view of the whole spectrum of chaste and erotic vernacular novels than does any other scholar writing in the English language. --Jeannette L. Faurot, The Journal of Asian Studies


This book provides for the first time in English an introduction to the real complexities of the mature Chinese novel tradition. It reflects insightful new conclusions drawn on pathbreaking scholarship. McMahon has gained access to rare novels in Chinese collections that few Chinese scholars have written about; his comments are of signal importance. -Robert E. Hegel, Washington University
