Series: China Perspectives

Based on the texts of traditional Chinese dramas such as The Orphan of Zhao, Liang Shangbo and Zhu Yingtai, The Injustice to Dou E, and The Fifteen Strings of Cash, the book aims to broaden the scope of law and literature in China.

Adopting a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach of legal theory, literature, sociology, economics, and political science, the author analyzes some theoretical issues that are of the law or relevant to law in these literary playscripts, which breaks the Chinese tradition of moral reading and integrates literary study or humanitarian studies into the study of social sciences. In addition, the book discusses the history, status quo, and prospects of law and literature research in China and reflects on its value and methodology.

The book will appeal to scholars and postgraduate students of legal theory, Chinese literature, and legal history.
