This anthology features translations of ten seminal plays written during the Yuan dynasty (1279Ð1368), a period considered the golden age of Chinese theater. By turns lyrical and earthy, sentimental and ironic, Yuan drama spans a broad emotional, linguistic, and stylistic range. Combining sung arias with declaimed verses and doggerels, dialogues and mime, and jokes and acrobatic feats, Yuan drama formed a vital part of ChinaÕs culture of performance and entertainment in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. To date, few Yuan-dynasty plays have been translated into English. Well-known translators and scholars have supervised the making of this collection and add a short description to each play. A general introduction situates all selections within their cultural and historical contexts.

The Columbia Anthology of Yuan Drama

This book collects over 2,000 American English entries. Apart from single words, compound expressions, phrases and whole sentences are also discussed. The entries are selected from everyday and common usage, and whenever possible, their Chinese counterparts are cited. This is a very useful reference for not only students, but all those learning and speaking English. This revised edition brings its content up-to-date.
