This anthology features translations of ten seminal plays written
during the Yuan dynasty (1279--1368), a period considered the
golden age of Chinese theater. By turns lyrical and earthy,
sentimental and ironic, Yuan drama spans a broad emotional,
linguistic, and stylistic range. Combining sung arias with
declaimed verses and doggerels, dialogues and mime, and jokes and
acrobatic feats, Yuan drama formed a vital part of China's culture
of performance and entertainment in the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries. To date, few Yuan-dynasty plays have been translated
into English. Well-known translators and scholars have supervised
the making of this collection and add a short description to each
play. A general introduction situates all selections within their
cultural and historical contexts.
