The Stone Lion and Other Chinese Detective Stories
Author: Yin-lien C. Chin
Publisher: M.E. Sharpe
ISBN: 0765634384
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
With a little stretch of the imagination, it might be suggested that some Chinese tales from the Sung Dynasty are the precursors of modern detective fiction. Numerous stories in which Lord Bau is the chief protagonist bolster this conjecture. In this collection, translated from Chinese anthologies and retold for the English-speaking audience, Lord Bau is cast in the role of wise judge. Across the span of ten centuries, he remains to this day the symbol of the ideal public official.

The Judge Dee Novels of R.H. van Gulik
Author: J.K. Van Dover
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476617414
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
From 1949 to 1968 author Robert van Gulick wrote 15 novels, two novellas and eight short stories featuring Judge Dee, a Chinese magistrate and detective from the Tang dynasty. In addition to providing the setting for riveting mysteries, Dee's world highlighted aspects of traditional Chinese culture through his personal relationships with his wives, his lieutenants and the citizens he served with dedication on the emperor's behalf. This book gives a synopsis of each Judge Dee story, along with commentary on plots, characters, themes and historical details. Exploring van Gulik's influence on Chinese and Western detective fiction and on the image of China in popular 20th century American literature, this study brings to light a significant contributor to the development of detective fiction.
