Romance of the Western Bower (1 Volume)
Wang Shifu, translated by Xu Yanchong Romance of the Western Bower, by Wang Shifu of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), is a gem of Chinese classical drama and a masterpiece of Chinese literature. Many Yuan dramatists attacked the feudal marriage system under which marriages were determined by money or social position and true love was cruelly suppressed, but Romance of the Western Bower is the most outstanding work of this type. Though the main theme of this play is the love between a young scholar named Zhang and Oriole, a girl of noble birth, the two most striking characters are Oriole and her maid Rose, a girl with a strong sense of justice and plenty of fight. Romance of the Western Bower has been adapted for the stage performances by many genres of traditional operas in China. The play, especially the mischievous, ingenious Rose, has been a favorite with the theatre-goers down the ages.
