Antje Richter, Ph.D. (1998), Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, is Associate Professor of Chinese at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Her publications on Chinese literature and culture include Letters and Epistolary Culture in Early Medieval China (University of Washington Press, 2013).

"These self-serving quibbles aside, however, this volume provides a splendid introduction to the world of Chinese letters, in all its complexity and diversity. Brill (and the editor!) should be particularlycommended for the meticulous production. The care taken to provide Chinese text for all translations; the usefully annotated bibliography; and especially the magnificent illustrations (many in color) of ancient wooden letters, delicately painted stationery, and letter manuscripts all wonderfully enhance the volume’s aesthetic and scholarly value. One hopes this book will inspire many others scholars to turn attention to the study of Chinese letters." - Beverly Bossler, University of California, Davis, in: Journal of the American Oriental Society 138.1 (2018)
