Strange Tales from Edo: Rewriting Chinese Fiction in Early Modern Japan

In Strange Tales from Edo, William Fleming paints a sweeping picture of Japan’s engagement with Chinese fiction in the early modern period, including large-scale analyses of the record of the circulation of Chinese texts in Japan. He also traces the hidden history of Pu Songling’s Liaozhai zhiyi (Strange Tales from Liaozhai Studio) in Japan.
