Wai-yee Li is Professor of Chinese Literature at Harvard University.
In a famous episode of the eighteenth-century masterpiece The Dream of the Red Chamber, the goddess Disenchantment introduces the hero, Pao-yü, to the splendors and dangers of the Illusory Realm of Great Void. The goddess, one of the divine women in Chinese literature who inspire contradictory impulses of attachment and detachment, tells Pao-yü that the purpose of his dream visit is "disenchantment through enchantment," or "enlightenment through love." Examining a range of genres from different periods, Wai-yee Li reveals the persistence of the dialectic embodied by the goddess: while illusion originates in love and desire, it is only through love and desire that illusion can be transcended.
Li begins by defining the context of these issues through the study of an entire poetic tradition, placing special emphasis on the role of language and of the feminine element. Then, focusing on the "dream plays" by T'ang Hsien-tsu, she turns to the late Ming, an age which discovers radical subjectivity, and goes on to explore a seventeenth-century collection of classical tales, Records of the Strange from the Liao-chai Studio by P'u Sung-ling. The latter half of the book is devoted to a thorough analysis of The Dream of the Red Chamber, the most profound treatment of the dialectic of enchantment and disenchantment, love and enlightenment, illusion and reality.

评分佶屈聱牙,不過close reading做得很棒
评分佶屈聱牙,不過close reading做得很棒
评分很喜歡第一、二章,從很獨特的角度來組織中國文學傳統,呈現齣文學書寫在刻意地製造美學幻境的同時,試圖保持反省距離的緊張感。《九歌》、《洛神賦》、《陶庵夢憶》等作品被作為幾個關鍵時刻來重新解讀。後麵幾章講《紅樓夢》延續瞭這一脈絡,但因為《紅樓夢》的豐富細節以及作者、敘事者、主角寶玉間的交織層疊的再現關係,有瞭更多的發揮空間。
评分討論幻與悟在敘述文學中的反諷地運用。從楚辭、到晚明與清初的傳奇,到聊齋誌異,最後收尾於紅樓夢。最後三章關於紅樓夢的分析真是有理有據。
