In this study of desire in Late Imperial China, Martin W. Huang
argues that the development of traditional Chinese fiction as a
narrative genre was closely related to changes in conceptions of
the fundamental nature of desire. He further suggests that the rise
of vernacular fiction during the late Ming dynasty should be
studied in the context of contemporary debates on desire, along
with the new and complex views that emerged from those debates.
"Desire and Fictional Narrative in Late Imperial China" shows
that the obsession of authors with individual desire is an
essential quality that defines traditional Chinese fiction as a
narrative genre. Thus the maturation of the genre can best be
appreciated in terms of its increasingly sophisticated exploration
of the phenomenon of desire.
