Book Synopsis
The Butterfly Lovers Story, sometimes called the Chinese Romeo and Juliet, has been enduringly popular in China and Korea. In Transforming Gender and Emotion, Sookja Cho demonstrates why The Butterfly Lovers Story is more than just a popular love story.

Trade Review
Transforming Gender and Emotion is the most comprehensive study to date of a major story-cycle in China known as the Liang-Zhu story. It is also virtually the only study to explicitly address the issue of the migration of the story to Korea in imperial times. Comprehensively exploring themes of female cross-dressing, women and education, and tragedy in love—as well as noting differences between Chinese and Korean versions—this volume thus fills a gap in knowledge and will be welcomed by those in the field."" - Anne McLaren, University of Melbourne
