Gossip and anecdote may be “idle talk,” but they also serve to knit together individuals in society and to provide the materials through which literary culture and historical memory are constructed. This groundbreaking book provides a cultural history of gossip and anecdote in traditional China, beginning with the Han dynasty and ending with the Qing. The ten essays, along with the introduction and postface, address the verification, transmission, and interpretation of gossip and anecdote across literary and historical genres.

“The essays in this fine collection cover a fascinating range of topics under the general rubric of ‘idle talk,’ material generally considered historically unreliable, even though it appears in histories as well as in informal writings. By making anecdotes the topic of extended reflection and, more important, by examining their role in a variety of periods and contexts, the volume breaks ground in exploring the functions of gossip in the larger Chinese tradition. The authors are among the most highly respected scholars of Chinese literature in the US. Their topics are individually important; collectively they constitute a stimulating introduction to the informality—presumed and real—of literati jottings over nearly two millennia.” Robert E. Hegel, Washington University, St. Louis

內容參差不齊
评分Anna Shields 一篇,切入点似乎很尖新,但未必套得上gossip/anecdote的框架。Anecdote相对来说好些,讨论gossip,似乎无论是从文体、材料还是从定义上都太模糊,某种程度上导致了这一册内容上的参差不齐,大概作为口头传播的讯息与后世所能够用作研究材料的文本之间还是有些张力。后记一如既往的厉害。
评分很值得研究的話題,材料涵蓋從西漢到清代,可以學習史料的細讀方法。尤其要贊的是前言寫得極為出彩。

评分There are a lot of general topics, so it's a little bit fragmentary. A better way of writing may be focusing on one work in one era instead of collecting different sources of the same topic to reach a conclusion. However, since it is sort of an "introductory" book on gossip and anecdotes, this "shortcoming" may be ignored.
