A Topsy-Turvy World

Short Plays and Farces from the Ming and Qing Dynasties

Herausgeber: West, Stephen H.; Idema, Wilt; Li, Wai-Yee

Beschreibung

A Topsy-Turvy World presents English translations of shorter late Ming and early Qing plays. Satirical and often earthy, these mostly one-act plays provide a glimpse of Chinese daily life and mores even as they question or subvert the boundaries of social, moral, and political order.
