Changsheng, the young wife of the local coffin maker Liu Laoshi, is raped while making an offering to Guanyin in the hope of increasing her chances of bearing a son. Changsheng hangs herself following the encounter, and Liu Laoshi exacts bloody vengeance on the rapist's own wife and favorite prostitute. This act of sexual violence and its retribution provide the narrative pivot around which is woven a web of interconnecting stories, whose characters and events provide divergent perspectives on the rape and its aftermath. The result is an unforgettable exploration of the intersections of sexual desire, sadism, folk belief, and the inexorable cycles of karmic retribution. 410 0$aModern Chinese literature from Taiwan. 606 $aRape$vFiction 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRape 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General. 676 $a895.1/352 700 $aLi$b Yongping$f1947-$01029974 701 $aGoldblatt$b Howard$f1939-$0860350 701 $aLin$b Sylvia Li-chun$01029975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450666703321 996 $aRetribution$92446665 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03201nam 2200685 450 001 9910796415503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-5261-3031-9 024 7 $a10.7765/9781526130310 035 $a(CKB)3810000000290540 035 $a(OCoLC)1085670185 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse72905 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5160927 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11473288 035 $a(OCoLC)1013829123 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5160927 035 $a(DE-B1597)659276 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781526130310 035 $a(EXLCZ)993810000000290540 100 $a20171220h20082008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aIndustrial enlightenment $escience, technology and culture in Birmingham and the West Midlands, 1760-1820 /$fPeter M.

In drawing attention to the important role played by scientific knowledge, it focuses on a dimension of this transition which is often overlooked by historians. The book argues that in certain favoured regions, England underwent a process whereby useful knowledge was fused with technological 'know how' to produce the condition described here as Industrial Enlightenment. At the forefront of the process were the natural philosophers who entered into a close and productive relationship with technologists and entrepreneurs. Much of the evidence for this study is drawn from the extraordinary archival record of the activities of Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) and his Soho Manufactory. The book will appeal to those keen to explore the dynamics of change in eighteenth-century England, and to those with a broad interest in the cultural history of science and technology. 606 $aIndustrial revolution$zEngland$zBirmingham 606 $aScience and industry$zEngland$zBirmingham$xHistory 607 $aBirmingham (England)$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aBirmingham (England)$xHistory$y19th century 610 $aBirmingham. 610 $aFrench Revolution. 610 $aIndustrial Enlightenment. 610 $aNapoleonic Wars. 610 $aSoho. 610 $aWest Midlands. 610 $aeighteenth-century Britain. 610 $aknowledge economy. 610 $aprotestant Nonconformity. 610 $areligious complexion. 610 $ascience cultures. 610 $atechnological process. 615 0$aIndustrial revolution 615 0$aScience and industry$xHistory. 676 $a330.94249073 700 $aJones$b Peter M.$f1949-$0249438 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796415503321 996 $aIndustrial enlightenment$93727929 997 $aUNINA
