The Substance of Fiction: Literary Objects in China, 1550–1775 - Premodern East Asia: New Horizons
Sophie Volpp
Sophie Volpp considers fictional objects of the late Ming and Qing that defy being read as illustrative of historical things. Instead, she argues, fictional objects are often signs of fictionality themselves, calling attention to the nature of the relationship between literature and materiality.
