Although other authors have studied these three aspects of \u003ci\u003eDou E yuan\u003c\/i\u003e separately, this is the first comprehensive treatment of the topic as a scholarly monograph in English. Yumin Ao's analysis is based on the edition of the play in the \u003ci\u003eYuanqu xuan\u003c\/i\u003e [A Selection of Yuan Plays] compiled by the Ming publisher Zang Maoxun (ca. 15501620). Ao proposes that \u003ci\u003eDou E yuan,\u003c\/i\u003e as a dramatic narrative which develops through its enactment on the stage rather than by verbal presentation as a story, displays its integrative structure of narration through its thematic development and within its musical conventions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Guan Hanqing, His Zaju Composition and the Editions of Dou E yuan 13 – Modern Criticism of Guan Hanqing and Yuan Zaju – A Study on the Original Story – Thematic Structure – Narrative Structure – Musical Structure (I) – (III).","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039588778327,"sku":"9781433130557","price":65.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781433130557.jpg?v=1750944189","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-study-on-the-thematic-narrative-and-musical-structure-of-guan-hanqings-yuan-zaju-injustice-to-dou-e-9781433130557","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
