Women's Poetry and Poetics in Late Imperial China: A Dialogic Engagement

4.9/5 (17757 ratings)

Description:A literary study of women-authored poetry and poetic criticism in late imperial China, this book explores poetic forms in which women wrote, and investigates poetic devices which women innovatively employed to create agency and negotiate their literary, social, and political concerns. It offers close reading of original texts by women on topics varying from the pleasure of appreciating a snow-woman, a quiet moment when the poet reflects upon her life, to reunion with the writer's female friends and her comments on political and cultural issues. The author treats these texts as dialogues with their social, cultural, and political contexts, as well as with others writers, male and female, past and future. The book investigates the interactions between women's poetic creations and existing male scholar discourses, and probes into how these interactions generate innovative self-identities and renovations in poetic forms and aesthetics. The book's dialogic approach focuses on both connections, overlaps, shared elements, and differences between women's poetic works and the literati tradition. It examines lyric poems selected from anthologies or collections of women's poetic works. It also studies women-authored poems published in the earliest Chinese newspapers and journals. Joining the recent scholarly efforts in re-reading, re-assessing, and re-representing women-authored poetry and poetics as artistic creations in late imperial China, the book shares with its readers the excitement in bringing these writers and their works from literal sub-consciousness to consciousness and in reflecting on their impact on our relations with the past and our cultural roles in this digital era when the past is increasingly distanced and yet has never been so earnestly needed and sought after.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
