This book offers a guided introduction to Chinese nonfictional
prose and its literary and cultural significance. It features more
than one hundred major texts from antiquity through the Qing
dynasty that exemplify major genres, styles, and forms of
traditional Chinese prose. For each work, the book presents an
English translation, the Chinese original, and accessible critical
commentary by leading scholars. How to Read Chinese Prose teaches
readers to appreciate the literary merits, stylistic devices,
rhetorical choices, and argumentative techniques of a wide range of
nonfictional writing. It emphasizes the interconnections among
individual texts and across eras, helping readers understand the
development of the literary tradition and what makes particular
texts formative or distinctive within it. Organized by dynastic
period and genre, the book identifies and examines four broad
categories of prose-narrative, expository, descriptive, and
communicative. How to Read Chinese Prose is suitable for a range of
courses in Chinese literature, history, religion, and philosophy,
as well as for scholars and interested readers seeking to deepen
their knowledge of the Chinese prose tradition. A companion book,
How to Read Chinese Prose in Chinese, is designed for
Chinese-language learners and features many of the same texts.
