Research on the Evolution of Characters and Gender Discourse in Worldly Novels
by Chen Guoxue
About This Novel
This book studies the images of men and women in representative novels about world affairs during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and explores the evolution of gender discourse behind them. The research features and academic value of this book mainly lie in: First, it systematically combs the evolution of female images in worldly novels, and finds that there are women with strong rebellious colors in them. They reflect the impact on traditional female discourse from different aspects, but the female images with strong traditional colors have not completely withdrawn, showing the resilience of traditional views on women. Secondly, it studies the existence of male discourse in worldly novels more than the general related works, paying special attention to the discussion of ideal men. This not only deepens the research on worldly novels, but also opens up new topics in related research.
