Chinese

Description:

This course focuses on the late Ming and early Qing dynasty Chinese fiction and mainly examines several genres of short stories by Feng Menglong (1574-1646), Ling Mengchu (1580-1644), Li Yu (1611-1680), etc. The course also introduces the four master classical novels: Outlaws of the Marsh, Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Dream of the Red Chamber, as well as Strange Tales from the Leisure Studio.
