520 $a This study examines technical controversies among enthusiasts of Kunqu drama in the latter half of the sixteenth century, and exposes their ideological nature by examining Feng Menglong's revisions of two plays by Tang Xianzu--Mudan ting (1598) and Handan ji (1601).
520 $a After outlining criticisms of Tang's prosody by Feng and others in my introduction, I explore Feng's "prosodic" revision of two scenes from Mudan ting in chapter 1, demonstrating that these revisions cannot be adequately explained by recourse to the prosodic norms which Feng himself endorsed. Many metrical "flaws" in Mudan ting can be understood as variations well within existing practice, or as deliberate innovations. In chapter 2 I examine prosodic and linguistic aspects of the revising process together, and find that Feng's adaptations far exceed what would be required to correct prosodic anomalies. I also find that in Mudan ting expressive or striking language often coincides with prosodic innovation, suggesting a close relationship between the form of Kunqu arias and their content in Tang's plays.
520 $a Chapters 3-5 focus on Tang's distinctive use of imagery in Mudan ting and Handan ji. In chapters 3 and 4 I examine the erotic dimension of two figures in Mudan ting and argue that these figures provide a key to Tang's treatment of qing (emotion, passion) in human experience. Feng's revisions in Fengliu meng reveal his critical response to this figurative language, suggesting that this dimension of the play disturbed him at least as much as did its metrical oddities. In chapter 5 I examine erotic language in Handan ji and in Feng's revision of it, Handan meng, and find that here too Feng was responding critically to Tang's ideas, albeit in less aggressively revisionist ways.
520 $a In my conclusion I suggest that debates over the formal integrity of Kunqu reflect ideological tensions in late Ming literary culture which were particularly strong in the newly emerging vernacular genres. Tang Xianzu represents one trend--the use of drama by the literati as a vehicle for self-expression. Feng Menglong represents a counter-trend--the appropriation of drama by literati as a vehicle for shaping public tastes and attitudes.
