Written in 1699 and based on the recollections of survivors, "The
Peach Blossom Fan "is a grand historical play about the last days
of the Ming dynasty as it fell to the invading Manchus. With
compelling vividness, K'ung re-creates confrontations between
loyalists and those who sell out to the newest master; nostalgic
scenes of dalliance in riverside pavilions; desperate stands on
battlements; and rituals of commemoration for the lost empire. Here
are gallant generals and sycophantic ministers, court musicians and
singing girls, and the love of a talented scholar and a beautiful
courtesan. Immensely popular in its own time, "The Peach Blossom
Fan" continues to be performed and has been adapted into films,
operas, and modern theater pieces. This lively translation has been
out of print for almost four decades.
