Description

Li Yu, considered a master of comedy in Chinese literature, was a novelist, playwright, and essayist in the 17th century.

With Hanan's introduction and notes, and containing Li Yu's emphasis marks, notes, and critiques, this volume should be of interest to students of Chinese literature and general readers alike.
