In a series of essays on elite, male-authored literary texts dating from roughly 200 B.C. until A.D. 1000, Paul Rouzer analyzes the representation of gender and desire in traditional China and explores the ways in which educated men wrote both about and as women. The essays focus on what these writings can tell us not only about gender relations but also about the ways in which these male authors attempted to define themselves and their place in the political and social world."--Jacket UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=2661759 ER -
