This book is a study of the intellectual and literary factors that in the mid-Qing dynasty contributed to the development of vernacular fiction of unprecedented scholarly and satirical sophistication. The author examines three works of vernacular fiction—Rulin waishi (ca. 1750), Yesou puyan (ca. 1780), and Jinghua yuan (1821/1828)—for their articulation of new perceptions of the literati, or Confucian scholar-gentry. He places the reevaluation of literati roles and privilege found in these novels within the context of scholarly and cultural developments, notably the ascendance of the philological or evidential studies movement of the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods (1736-1820).The author cites a broad range of contemporary discursive writings to corroborate evidence of a clearly discernible trend to modify or negate the ethical and epistemological certainties that had long served as the ideological basis of literati social eminence. These writings implicitly redefined the tasks and interests by which the literati constructed their self-identity. The widespread predilection of these various discourses toward intellectualizing literati identity is in turn brought to bear on the three texts of vernacular fiction. By reading vernacular fiction, scholarly and exegetical texts, and aesthetic treatises as parallel if not wholly identical aims to redefine literati identity, the book attempts to advance our understanding of the intersections and overlaps between literary and discursive practices of late traditional China.About the authorStephen J. Roddy is Assistant Professor of Chinese and Japanese at the University of San Francisco. In the academic study oflate imperial China, fictional and philosophical sources are usually tapped by different scholars, so much so that fiction and philosophy seem to reflect two separate and unrelated worlds. In some ways these two types of sources did come from different worlds, as Chinese fiction ranked near the bottom, and Chinese philosophy ranked near the top, ofthe prestige scale ofintellectual endeavors in the Qing period. Stephen Roddy has performed a valuable service by bringing these seemingly disparate worlds together and examining three novels in relation to the dominant intellectual trends ofthe late imperial period. Specifically, he reads and interprets Rulin waishi (Unofficial history of the literati), Yesou puyan (Humble words of a rustic elder), and Jinghua yuan (Flowers in the mirror) as explorations ofliterati self-identity that address explicitly the same issues and concerns as Qing philosophers and philologists. The Qing period was an unsettling time for many Chinese literati. On the one hand, they were ruled by activist Manchu emperors inclined to see the literati as no more than servants and tools ofthe throne. The rapid expansion ofpopulay ‘ tion and literacy greatly intensified the competition for success in the provincial and metropolitan examinations. The sharing ofhigh bureaucratic posts between Manchus and Chinese and the stable and relatively small size ofthe state apparatus throughout this period ofrapid population and economic growth all conspired to ofHawai’i Press Reviews 231 make the traditional basis ofliterati prestige and power (examination success and bureaucratic service to the state) ever more precarious. At the same time, a growing commercial economy gave rise to new social groups that blurred status distinctions and further undermined the traditional literati dominance of society.1 Roddy’s chiefconcern is the threat to literati identity that resulted from the intellectual endeavors of the literati themselves. “It is the contention of this book that by undermining Neo-Confucian orthodoxy, Qing writers implicitly altered the tasks and interests by which the literati had identified themselves for at least five centuries” (p. 6). Building on the studies ofKai-wing Chow, Benjamin Elman, John Henderson, Yu Yingshi, and others, he examines, in part 1, “the image ofthe literati in Qing discourse.”2 Careful to define the literati loosely as referring to “a nexus of cultural, ideological, and socio-political values and relationships,” rather than “an empirically verifiable social group” (p. 9), he concentrates on developments in Qing philosophy and philology, and notes the variety ofways that the intellectual world of the literati was being reshaped and redefined in the Qing period. As Song orthodoxy reigned supreme in the examination system, it was being systematically undermined by developments in Qing philology. Ethical and religious questions were avoided and replaced by the study of the form and concrete detail of texts. As more and more literati found it impossible to work in government, and many were hired as clerks, informal advisers, and specialists in textual research, they increasinglybecame “a deracinated elite with little access to the privileges that orthodoxy promised them” (p. 17). The increasing specialization and professionalization ofthe elite, the steady undermining of Song orthodoxy, and the lack ofa strong consensus on any one viable substitute created “a profound sense ofepistemologica! uncertainty” in the eighteenth century (p. 20). In chapter 2, “Discourses ofthe Literati and the Literati in Discourse,” Roddy broadens…
