This book, first published in 1990, is a thematic analysis of five
tales of early vernacular Chinese literature. Interest in
vernacular stories is increasing in the study of Chinese
literature, as their importance is being recognised as a key part
of the oral traditional narrative. From the analysis of the five
Chinese tales in light of literary, historical, philological
sources and folkloristic methodologies we may see to what extent
tales of an intrinsically religious nature can offer meanings in
the oral tradition.
