This important contribution to the study of early modern Chinese fiction and representation of gender relations focuses on literary representations of the prostitute produced in the Ming and Qing periods. Following her heavily symbolic body, the present work maps this fictional heroine's journey from innocence to sex-work and beyond. This crucial angle allows the author to paint a picture of gender identity, sexuality, and desire that is at once unitary and multi-layered, and that comes to illuminate some of the major themes in the construction of Chinese modernity.

Paola Zamperini, Ph.D. in Chinese Literature and Women and Gender Studies (1999), is Assistant Professor of Chinese literature at Amherst College. She has published extensively on Ming and Qing fiction, and is currently at work on her new book project, Losing It. Gambling in Chinese Literature.

Accordingly, the main gender angle in this book is on how mascu- linity (of authors, male characters and male readers) is defined and created against the polysemic figure of the literary courtesan. Writ- ing about courtesans cannot be read as immediately conveying the voices and the experiences of real women. (查看原文)

However, I think the conclusion part is a little away from the previous discussion. She should mention contemporary fiction about prostitution (which are not few) instead of talking about images.(展开)
