Wilt Idema is one of the world's leading scholars and translators of Chinese literature, with research interests ranging from classical poetry to premodern fiction, performance literature and women's writing. His oeuvre is exceptional in its inclusiveness and its ability to let different historical periods, genres and issues speak to one another, and to make the riches of Chinese literature accessible to a wide range of readers. In honor of his work, this collection brings together new research by twenty-two prominent scholars in a field of tremendous scope and diversity, on topics including genre characteristics, literary representations of social and political history, gender and cultural identity, music, autobiography, women's writing, internet literature and more.

Recensioner i media

"In sum, this is an extremely rich collection of essays. As the editors of the volume put it, this collection of essays 'bears witness to the huge advances that the study of Chinese culture has made since the 1970s, when [Wilt Idema] started his career' (p.1). Having benefitted from Idema's impressive scholarship both as a reader and as a long-distance student of his, I can understand why he inspired so extensive a Festschrift." – JIE GUO, University of South Carolina, in: MCLC Resource Center Publication (October 2010)
