Popular songs in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century China form a rich and intriguing body of materials hardly studied so far in the English-speaking world. This book is about these songs and their impact on Chinese culture and literary practice.

It examines the tapestry books in which popular songs circulated, how books shaped readers, how books were shaped by a range of literacies, and how arrangements of performance-texts aided imitation and selection of words or phrases.

Publishing histories of the popular song collections bring to light how songs were duplicated for readers among the elite and sub-elite. The analysis of how popular songs bring together the "high" and the "low" is of special value for literary scholars and intellectual historians, and challenges the traditonal dichotomy between elite and popular culture.

no big argument

掃了一遍, 比McLaren好看。就仔細讀了的部分 最重要的論點大概是讀者的主體性，給出了明代人使用流行歌詞集的各種社交場合。但閱讀模式這個argument很難跑出重構主客體的坑。大致是一本回答how很扎實的作品。
