Book excerpt: "Composed of 184 prose passages and 5,263 lines of verse to be narrated and sung by a performing singer-storyteller, Master Tung's Western Chamber Romance is an elaboration of the T'ang dynasty love story, The Story of Ying-ying, by Yuan Chen (779-831). But unlike the T'ang story, in which the lovers fail to marry each other, Master Tang's Western Chamber Romance ends with their wedding."--Cover.
