Features: This book comprehensively discusses works and critical theories related to women in classical poetry from the pre-Qin period to the late Qing Dynasty. The opposition and integration of the two major trends—Shao Feng spirit and erotic interest—constitute the main thread throughout. The book particularly analyzes the complex relationships between politics and love, scholars and women, poetry and music. It also appropriately explores the application of reader response and feminist theory in classical poetry studies. The book combines academic rigor with accessibility, offering valuable assistance to ordinary readers in appreciating classical poetry and opening up a new path worth exploring for the study of women's literature.
