The seminar is designed to help you have an in-depth study of selected topics in classical Chinese literature. Instead of emphasizing the general history of literature or literary genre, you will learn to analyze, interpret and evaluate the specific texts in-depth (or/and compare it with the other works). You will read across a number of theories and disciplines to seek an understanding of the historical dynamics in the different literary ?worlds?. Examples of topics are the study of Records of the Grand Historian (Shi Ji), the study of Selections of Refined Literature (Wen Xuan), the study of poetry of Du Fu, the study of The Dream of the Red Chamber (Hong Lou Meng), and the study of prose writing of the specific historical periods.
