Transmitting Authority investigates the rise and fall of the
cultural currency of the Confucian teacher Wang Tong (ca. 584-617),
a.k.a. Master Wenzhong, in the five centuries following his death,
by examining the textual and social history of the Zhongshuo, which
purports to record Wang Tong's teachings. Incorporating theories
and methodologies from textual criticism, the history of the book,
and cultural studies, Warner reveals evidence of the Zhongshuo's
textual fluidity during the Tang and early Song dynasties, and
argues that this fluidity attended the shifting terms of the
Zhongshuo's cultural value for medieval China's literati culture.
In doing so, Warner offers scholars a model for the study of other
works whose textual problems and historical significance have
hitherto seemed inscrutable.
