520 $a The purpose of this dissertation is to introduce to Western readers the textual history and literary features of Feng Meng-lung's New History of the States (Hsin lieh-kuo chih), a fictionalized history about ancient China of the Eastern Chou period.
520 $a Chapter I assesses the possible motives behind the creation of fictionalized histories (yen-i) in general and of those about the Eastern Chou in particular. It attempts to provide a definition of yen-i and characterize its flowering during the late Ming.
520 $a Chapter II describes History of the States (Lieh-kuo chih chuan), the precursor of Feng's New History, in terms of its factual and fictional content. It explores the relationship between History of the States and p'ing-hua, and also examines the novel's ties to Yuan drama.
520 $a With Chapter III begins the core of the thesis, an analysis of the sources and structures of New History of the States. While Feng used a wide variety of historical works, he also relied more heavily on History of the States than he would have his readers believe. The bulk of the chapter is devoted to a comparison between representative corresponding sections of the two novels for the purpose of showing the extent to which Feng used the earlier work and the ways he improved on it.
520 $a Chapter IV looks at Feng's literary technique from two perspectives: his structuring of the material and his balancing of scene and summary, comment and description. Examples are taken from Feng's treatment of the story of Wu Tzu-hsu.
520 $a Chapter V focuses on the poems and the comments accompanying them in Feng's New History, with a view to distinguishing the thematic concerns of the novel, especially the author's approach to history.
520 $a Chapter VI is devoted to History of the States of the Eastern Chou (Tung Chou lieh-kuo chih), Ts'ai Ao's revision of New History of the States. Selected translations from Ts'ai's commentary are presented, for the commentary was his main contribution and helps account for the great popularity of the novel during the Ch'ing dynasty.
520 $a Three appendices follow. The first is selected translation from Feng's account of Wu Tzu-hsu, which complements Chapter IV. The second treats editions of the various versions of the novel. The third is a translation of Feng's "General Guidelines" (fan-li) to the New History.
