Gossip and anecdote may be "idle talk," but they also serve to knit
together individuals in society and to provide the materials
through which literary culture and historical memory are
constructed. This groundbreaking book provides a cultural history
of gossip and anecdote in traditional China, beginning with the Han
dynasty and ending with the Qing. The ten essays, along with the
introduction and postface, address the verification, transmission,
and interpretation of gossip and anecdote across literary and
historical genres. Contributors: Sarah M. Allen, Beverly J.
Bossler, Jack W. Chen, Ronald Egan, Dore J. Levy, Stephen Owen,
Graham Sanders, David Schaberg, Anna M. Shields, Richard E.
Strassberg, and, Xiaofei Tian.
