Publisher's Synopsis

This study of late-Ming material culture focuses on the erotic fiction genre, the marketing and consuming strategies behind it, and the Daoist allegory contained within. Specific features of the presentation include the legitimation of sexuality in cosmological thinking, the moralization and politicalization of sexuality, pleasure prescribed by ars erotica, and the religious dimension of sexuality.
