About the Author<br />

Wilt L. Idema (Ph.D. Leiden University 1974) teaches Chinese literature<br />

at Harvard University. His main area <strong>of</strong> research is Chinese<br />

vernacular literature <strong>of</strong> the later imperial dynasties, including fiction,<br />

drama, <strong>and</strong> narrative ballads. His numerous publications on<br />

these subjects include both studies <strong>and</strong> translations. In recent years<br />

he has become increasingly interested in the interactions between<br />

popular literature <strong>and</strong> popular religion, <strong>and</strong> in women’s literature.<br />

His more recent publications in English include A Guide to Chinese<br />

Literature (with Lloyd Haft; University <strong>of</strong> Michigan Center for Chinese<br />

Studies, 1997), The Red Brush: Writing Women <strong>of</strong> Imperial<br />

China (with Beata Grant; Harvard University Asia Center, 2004),<br />

<strong>and</strong> Meng Jiangnü Brings Down the Great Wall: Ten Versions <strong>of</strong> a<br />

Chinese Legend (University <strong>of</strong> Washington Press, 2008).
