Beschreibungen

<p>This collection of short stories, anecdotes, and poems was likely compiled during the 13th century. Tales of romantic love—including courtship, marriage, and illicit affairs—unify the collection and make it an essential primary source for literary and social history, since official Chinese history sources did not usually discuss family conflict or sexual matters.</p>
<p>This volume, the first complete translation of <i>The Drunken Man’s Talk</i> (Xinbian zuiweng tanlu) in any language, includes an introduction that explores the literary significance of the work as well as annotations explaining the symbolism and allusions found in the stories.</p>

<p>"An important contribution to the field. There are very few translations of<i> biji xiaoshuo </i>[anecdotal fiction] from the Tang, Song, and Yuan periods.<i>The Drunken Man’s Talk</i> stands out because it offers a complete translation of a single collection, which offers insights into the compiler’s interests and agendas, in particular, his selection, presentation, and arrangement of stories."—Manling Luo, author of <i>Literari Storytelling in Late Medieval China</i></p>
