| Résumé: | Though Liu Xiang baojuan 劉香寶卷 has been widely used as a source for images of women’s religious lives in late imperial China, few studies have looked closely at the text on its own or its literary history and contexts. With roots in late Ming lay Buddhism, as one of the most widely reprinted baojuan in late Qing Jiangnan, to say nothing of its representation in other performance genres in Jiangnan and beyond extending into the Republican period, this story complex deserves focused study. In this article, I explore the tale’s history from the late Ming through the late Qing in order to lay the groundwork for future close readings of the narrative itself. |
