Feng Menglong (1574-1646) was recognized as the most knowledgeable
connoisseur of popular literature of his time. He is known today
for compiling three famous collections of vernacular short stories,
each containing forty stories, collectively known as Sanyan.
Appropriation and Representation adapts concepts of ventriloquism
and dialogism from Bakhtin and Holquist to explore Feng's methods
of selecting source materials. Shuhui Yang develops a model of
development in which Feng's approach to selecting and working with
his source materials becomes clear. More broadly, Appropriation and
Representation locates Feng Menglong's Sanyan in the cultural
milieu of the late Ming, including the archaist movement in
literature, literati marginality and anxieties, the subversive use
of folk works, and the meiren xiangcao tradition-appropriating a
female identity to express male frustration. Against this
background, a rationale emerges for Feng's choice to elevate and
promote the vernacular story while stepping back form an overt
authorial role.
