Presents the first book-length study in English of women's tanci fiction, the distinctive Chinese form of narrative written in rhymed lines during the late imperial to early modern period. Li Guo argues that Chinese women writers of the period position the personal within the diegesis in order to reconfigure their moral commitments and desires.

Women outside marriage between 1850 and the Second World War were seen as abnormal, threatening, superfluous and incomplete, whilst also being hailed as 'women of the future'. Before 1850 odd women were marginalised, minor characters, yet by the 1930s spinsters, lesbians and widows had become heroines.

Dans des contrées toutes proches vit cet autre peuple qu'on appelle simplement le peuple. Des voyageurs s'arrêtent, surpris. Wordsworth franchit la Manche et traverse en poète la Révolution française. Des pèlerins saint-simoniens partent à la rencontre de travailleurs. Büchner croise un missionnaire égaré de la nouvelle doctrine sociale. Michelet et Rilke, devant la servante ou l'ouvrière, rêvent de vie réconciliée. Des prolétaires découvrent dans les mers du Sud le miroir inattendu de leur condition. Sur l'écran, Ingrid Bergman incarne la femme du monde en visite de l'autre côté de la société. De ces pérégrinations, chacun rapporte des images. Si elles s'accordent plus ou moins avec la réalité, elles circulent assurément dans les oeuvres qui ouvrent de nouveaux chemins à l'utopie.
