Chastity and moral uplift in salient novels of China and the West
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe first Chinese novel to be translated into a Western language, Hau Ch'iu Chuan by Meng-chiao Chung-jen (known in English as The Fortunate Union), was instantly hailed by Goethe and others as a masterpiece of imaginative fiction and was in large measure responsible for Goethe's formulation of the concept of world literature. Throughout Chinese literary history Hau Ch'iu Chuan figures as the second most important example of a traditional genre, that of, the scholar-beauty romance.
