In the immediate aftermath of the dynastic transition in 1644, when the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) collapsed and the Manchus claimed to be the holder of Heaven's Mandate to rule the empire, a de novo novelistic genre emerged in the book market, typically grouped under the label of "scholar-beauty fiction." These novels soon ascended the best-seller list and enjoyed long-lasting popularity throughout the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Interestingly, Qing-dynasty critics as well as modern scholars have dismissed this large corpus of novels as light-hearted romance. By contrast, my dissertation seeks to address the question of the curious popularity of this genre. It proposes to view this literary phenomenon as the earliest self-conscious genre fiction in the Chinese context. As a commercially-driven genre, these novels follow a narrative formula and provide entertainment and comfort through happy fantasies of wish-fulfillment, but they also engage serious social and political concerns in explicit and indirect ways. The narrative flexibility allowed by the formula enabled the genre's ideological versatility. As such, scholar-beauty fiction served as an effective venue of self-expression and social commentary for frustrated and obscure literati writers, one that was welcomed by their peers and by other audiences.
