In this collection of detailed and insightful essays, Hanan examines Chinese fiction before and during the period in which Chinese writers first came into contact with western fiction. Hanan explores the uses made of fiction by westerners in China; the adaptation and integration of western methods in Chinese fiction; and the continued vitality of the Chinese fictional tradition. Some western missionaries, for example, wrote religious novels in Chinese, almost always with the aid of native assistants who tended to change aspects of the work to "fit" Chinese taste. Later, such works as Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle," Jonathan Swift's "A Voyage to Lilliput," the novels of Jules Verne, and French detective stories were translated into Chinese. These interventions and their effects are explored here for virtually the first time.Masters of Chinese studies ;v. 2.Essays on Chinese fiction of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuriesChinese fictionQing dynasty, 1644-1912History and criticismChinese fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismChinese fictionHistory and criticism.Chinese fictionHistory and criticism.895.134809Hanan Patrick638426MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807690103321Chinese fiction of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries1241096UNINA
