A milestone of Chinese narratological studies, Chinese Narratology
is a two-volume set which establishes a unique theoretical system
of Chinese narratology by exploring the principles and
characteristics of Chinese narratives. From argument to the
conclusion, the book constitutes a forensic analysis of the context
and connotations of Chinese culture and a close reading of Chinese
literature classics, such as Romance of the Western Chamber, A
Dream of Red Mansions, Outlaws of the Marsh, Romance of The Three
Kingdoms, and The Plum in the Golden Vase. The book draws on both
Western cultural resources and scholarship on narratology to
unravel the unique features of Chinese narrative literature. It
analyzes the distinctive characteristics of Chinese narratives in
five aspects: structure, time, perspective, image, and commenter.
The first volume introduces the cultural fundamentals that nurture
Chinese narration and investigates the structure and time of
Chinese narratives, while the second volume focuses on the latter
three aspects. The set is a must-read for scholars and students
interested in narrative theory, Chinese culture and literature, and
the dialogue between Chinese and Western narratological studies.
