Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. A compelling anthology, "Vignettes from the Late Ming: A Hsiao-p'in Anthology," translated and annotated by Yang Ye, offers a unique window into sixteenth- and seventeenth-century China. This volume, a First Edition, First Printing from the University of Washington Press in 1999, collects seventy short essays, or *hsiao-p'in*, from fourteen renowned Chinese writers.Characterized by their spontaneity and brevity, *hsiao-p'in* represent a more informal and individualistic variation on the classical prose style in which all scholars were trained.

Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation.…
