This book, first published in 1967, is a comprehensive study of
knight-errantry in Chinese history and literature from the fourth
century BC to the twentieth century. After discussing the social
and intellectual backgrounds of knight-errantry, it gives examples
of historical knights and describes the development of the theme of
knight-errantry in poetry, fiction and drama. Many biographies,
anecdotes, poems and tales are translated in full, while long prose
romances and dramatic works are summarized and discussed. As
background to these, sketches of the developments of Chinese
fiction and drama are provided. In a final chapter, comparisons are
made between Chinese and European knights, and between Chinese and
Western chivalric literature.
