272pp, notes, bibliography, glossary, index. Some foxing to outer edge, fading to dustjacket spine and upper edge, otherwise in very good condition. Li Yu, 1610 - 1680, was a brilliant comic writer and entertainer, a thoroughgoing professional whose life was in his work - plays, stories, a novel, criticism, essays and poems. Patrick Hanan places him in the society of his day, where even his precarious livelihood, his constant search for patronage, did not dampen his versatility, his irreverent wit, or his jocund spirit. Li was also an epicure, an inventor, a pundit, and a designer of houses and gardens. He was an exceptional figure in Chinese culture for two reasons: his disregard of the authority of tradition, and his dedication to the cause of comedy.
