Editorial Reviews

Hanan’s literary sophistication is constantly in evidence in his readings of the Chinese texts and in his comparative insights drawn from classical and Renaissance authors of the West. I know of no scholar who has tracked down more assiduously, read more carefully, or used to more illuminating effect the prefaces and commentaries to such a wide range of Ming works of fiction, plays, and memoirs.
