This book is a study of the intellectual and literary factors that in the midQing dynasty contributed to the development of vernacular fiction of unprecedented scholarly and satirical sophistication The author examines three works of vernacular fictionRulin waishi ca 1750 Yesou puyan ca 1780 and Jinghua yuan 18211828for their articulation of new perceptions of the literati or Confucian scholargentry He places the reevaluation of literati roles and privilege found in these novels within the context of scholarly and cultural developments notably the ascendance of the philological or evidential studies movement of the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods 17361820The author cites a broad range of contemporary discursive writings to corroborate evidence of a clearly discernible trend to modify or negate the ethical and epistemological certainties that had long served as the ideological basis of literati social eminence These writings implicitly redefined the tasks and interests by which the literati constructed their selfidentity The widespread predilection of these various discourses toward intellectualizing literati identity is in turn brought to bear on the three texts of vernacular fiction By reading vernacular fiction scholarly and exegetical texts and aesthetic treatises as parallel if not wholly identical aims to redefine literati identity the book attempts to advance our understanding of the intersections and overlaps between literary and discursive practices of late traditional China

This is the first booklength study of the fictional autobiography a subgenre that is at once widely recognizable and rarely examined as a literary form with its own history and dynamics of interpretation Heidi L Pennington shows that the narrative form and genre expectations associated with the fictional autobiography in the Victorian period engages readers in a sustained meditation on the fictional processes that construct selfhood both in and beyond the text Through close readings of Jane Eyre David Copperfield and other wellknown examples of the subgenre Pennington shows how the Victorian fictional autobiography subtly but persistently illustrates that all identities are fictions Despite the subgenres radical implications regarding the nature of personal identity fictional autobiographies were popular in their own time and continue to inspire devotion in readers This study sheds new light on what makes this subgenre so compelling up to and including in the present historical moment of precipitous social and technological change As we continue to grapple with the existential question of what determines who we really are this book explores the risks and rewards of embracing conscious acts of fictional selfproduction in an unstable world
