Thesis (Ph.D.)--Emory University, 1990.

In view of the obviously pitiable lack of comparative studies of Western and Chinese genre theory and criticism, this dissertation is intended to compensate a bit for that lack by proffering both a critical review of Western and Chinese genre theory and criticism, and a concrete study of one specific genre, the novel of manners, from the angle of the West-East literary relations.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In view of the obviously pitiable lack of comparative studies of Western and Chinese genre theory and criticism, this dissertation is intended to compensate a bit for that lack by proffering both a critical review of Western and Chinese genre theory and criticism, and a concrete study of one specific genre, the novel of manners, from the angle of the West-East literary relations.
520 $a The first part of the study (Chapters I & II) is devoted to a historical survey of Western and Chinese genre theory and criticism, both ancient and modern. The main purpose of the survey is two-folded: to dig out a number of major similarities while pointing out a few significant discrepancies between the Western and Chinese traditions of genre theory and criticism, and to draw some contemplative or theoretical conclusions, which are to be used as the general guideline for the second part of the study.
520 $a The first chapter concentrates on the theories of individual genres and general notions of genre, whereas the second is mainly concerned with the broad classifications of the whole of literature. Both chapters briefly cover the span of time from classical antiquity to the present century, and their emphasis is on such key generic notions as the nature, function, evolution, law, fixity, flexibility, mixture, evolution, and hierarchy of genres, and on the three major ways of classification of literature--the dyadic, the triadic, and the tetradic, respectively.
520 $a The second part of the dissertation consists of two comparative studies of the novel of manners. The first one (Chapter III) is the so-called "parallel study" of Henry Fielding's Tom Jones and Wu Jingzi's Rulin waishi (The Unofficial History of the Confucian Scholars) as the novel of manners. The main contention of the study is that without any generic influence, direct or indirect, two novels produced respectively in two different literatures--each bearing its own tradition and heritage--at the same time, can have enough shared generic features to be categorized into a similar, if not identical, literary genre.
520 $a The second study (Chapter IV), which is an "influence study" of Qian Zhongshu's novel Weicheng (Fortress Besieged), is a comparison of the novel with a number of Western novels of manners, mainly Tom Jones, A Handful of Dust, and Remembrance of Things Past, which have, in one way or another, exerted considerable influence upon it generically.
