Beyond Exemplar Tales, Paperback / softback Book

Beyond Exemplar Tales Paperback / softback

Edited by Joan Judge, Ying Hu

Part of the New Perspectives on Chinese Culture and Society series

Paperback / softback

Description

This volume develops new strategies for reading, contextualizing, and interpreting the long Chinese tradition of women's biography.

Drawing upon a vast array of sources - from formal biography to poetry, letters, and oral interviews - the authors examine how women's biography served particular cultural, political, and world-making projects, and how it illuminates these projects in new ways by highlighting tensions within and between them.
