Chinese 326
Chinese Narrative Tradition
Full course for one semester. This course surveys the narrative
tradition in Chinese literature, including narrative poetry,
storytelling, short story, and full-length narrative in the context
of the narrative tradition in China. While primary emphasis is on
the late imperial period that produced the monumental works, such
as Outlaws of the Marsh, Romance of the Three
Kingdoms, Journey to the West, and the Dream of the
Red Chamber, works of the earlier periods are also introduced
to show early stages of the development, formation of the source
materials, and the continuity of the tradition. Readings in
English. Prerequisite: sophomore standing. Conference. Cross-listed
as Literature 326. Not offered 2005–06.
