"Close reading and interpretation of the language of the tale is one of The Empress in the Pepper Chamber's greatest accomplishments, which allow Milburn to carry out the most definitive proof yet of the dating of Zhao Feiyan waizhuan...The fine distinctions Milburn makes in her examination of language and objects of material culture are examples of topnotch scholarship."

* Nan Nu: Men, Women and Gender in China *

"In this slim volume, Olivia Milburn introduces an important "alternative history" of one of the most fascinating women in Chinese history...The Empress in the Pepper Chamber is a tremendous contribution to the field."
