Produktbeschreibung
Ranging widely across disciplines, she integrates detailed analyses of great literary works with insights drawn from the history of medicine, art history, comparative literature, anthropology, religion, and performance studies. "The Phantom Heroine" probes the complex literary and cultural roots of the Chinese ghost tradition.
