Winners and Losers in a World of Wind and Dust: Students and Courtesans in Chinese Vernacular Literature of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries de Stephen H. West

Winners and Losers in a World of Wind and Dust: Students and Courtesans in Chinese Vernacular Literature of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries

Autor Stephen H. West, Wilt Idema
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 sep 2025
Love affairs of the young men from eminent families and the courtesans who were trained to entertain (and to fleece) them were a popular theme in the Chinese vernacular literature of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The stories of these happy and disastrous affairs were popular with all genres of performative literature. This volume offers a representative selection of texts on the grandeur et misère of the working girls and their Chinese and Jurchen patrons. Alongside popular works by famous playwrights such as Guan Hanqing and Shi Junbao, This volume also offers a wide range of scintillating texts by lesser known and anonymous authors.
