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

评分是不是有些太碎片瞭,關於流言八卦的研究如果著重論述文學輕視甚至忽視政治一麵其實挺得不償失~
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.
评分Anna Shields 一篇,切入點似乎很尖新,但未必套得上gossip/anecdote的框架。Anecdote相對來說好些,討論gossip,似乎無論是從文體、材料還是從定義上都太模糊,某種程度上導緻瞭這一冊內容上的參差不齊,大概作為口頭傳播的訊息與後世所能夠用作研究材料的文本之間還是有些張力。後記一如既往的厲害。
