This dissertation studies the commercial production of the genre of Chinese romantic action known as "caizi jiaren xiaoshuo," or "scholar-beauty romances." Attempting to discover why and how the genre came into being and became popularized in early Qing times, I investigate the products, the people involved, and the process of production in nine chapters.

520 $a This dissertation studies the commercial production of the genre of Chinese romantic action known as "caizi jiaren xiaoshuo," or "scholar-beauty romances." Attempting to discover why and how the genre came into being and became popularized in early Qing times, I investigate the products, the people involved, and the process of production in nine chapters.
520 $a Chapter 1 defines, classifies, and dates the genre, illustrating how these romances constituted a new and highly popular affection genre in early Qing China. Chapter 2 investigates the formation of the genre, demonstrating that its emergence and prevalence were direct outcomes of commercialism. Chapter 3 examines the physical format of these novels, showing that they were well-designed cultural commodities made for profit.
520 $a Chapter 4 determines the authorship of these romances by using a stylistic method. Based on these results, Chapters 5 and 6 explore the lives and social status of the writers, publishers, and readers, demonstrating that they were mainly frustrated middle- and lower-class intellectuals living in the Jiangnan area during the early Qing Dynasty.
520 $a Chapters 7, 8, and 9 explore the interactions between fiction creation and various social factors. Chapter 7 demonstrates that these romances were the outcome of the successful interaction between popular literature and the printing industry. Chapter 8 reveals commercial strategies that affected fiction production, examining publishing houses, the producer-city Suzhou, and business relationships. Chapter 9 demonstrates that the producers' education and purposes for writing determined their works' content.
520 $a This dissertation argues that, under the influence of commercialism and with the conquest of the Manchus in the early Qing period, a special group of intellectuals in the Jiangnan area became professional fiction producers or business-oriented partners. Having both literary and commercial motives, they created this fiction genre by shifting the traditional subject matter from other literary genres to a new genre of middle-length, vernacular novels. This new genre was evidence of a tendency in Chinese fiction production to specialize, a tendency promoted by business notions of increasing efficiency and by the limited productivity of the small-scale printing industry.
