History of Chinese Popular Literature (II) 

History of Chinese Popular Literature is a pioneering and foundational monograph in the history of research on Chinese popular literature. Some scholars believe that the book, Wang Guowei’s Textual Research on Dramas of the Song and Yuan Dynasties and Lu Xun’s Brief History of Chinese Novels can complement each other, be three legs of a tripod and become an excellent composition. They are all must-read basic classics for research on the history of Chinese literature.
