Guan Hanqing was the leading playwright of the Yuan Dynasty (1206-1368), and one of China's greatest dramatists. His works are marked by realism, reflecting the social realities of his time and giving special insight into the problems women faced in feudal society.
There are 18 of his plays extant. The eight chosen for this volume are considered the most representative of Guan's art. "Snow in Midsummer" is his most famous play. It depicts the injustice done to Dou E, the heroine, and her resistance to her unjust fate, using an exaggerative artistic technique incisively. "Rescued by A Coquette" has a novel plot marked by a rich comical flavor. "Lord Guan Goes to the Feast" has its own artistic characteristics, paying much attention to foreshadowing before the characters appear on stage.
Guan's plays have been translated into several foreign languages. The English translation presented here was done by Yang Xianyi and his wife Gladys Yang, the most renowned modern translators of Chinese into English.

Guan Hanqing (Kuan Han-ch'ing) ca. 1240-ca. 1320

A leading dramatist of the Yuan dynasty, who worked out of the capital Dadu (present-day Peking), but little biographical data on him exists. A playwright of the Northern Drama, he is credited with more than 64 plays, of which some 15 have survived complete. His most famous work is Dou E yuan [Injustice to Dou E]. Apart from his literary career, he was also said to have been a theatrical manager and sometime actor.

内容提要

关汉卿是元代（1206-1368）伟大的戏曲家。他的作品十分贴近现实生活，反映了复杂的社会场景与予盾冲突，尤其反映了当时社会生活中女性的命运以及她们对不平命运的抗争。 关汉卿现存剧作约18部，本书精选了最能体现关剧特色的8部戏剧。其中《窦娥冤》是关汉卿最著名的作品，该剧以“六月飞雪”这种非现实的、夸张的艺术手段，将窦娥的冤情和她对命运的抗争表现得淋漓尽致，成为中国戏剧的悲剧的代表作。《救风尘》的情节十分新颖，剧中侠妓赵盼儿以风月手段勇救风尘姊妹，有浓厚的喜剧色彩。《单刀会》在艺术上很有特色，十分注重对出场人物的铺垫。 关汉卿的戏剧曾被译成多种文字在全世界流传。本书选用的英文译本，系中国著名的文学翻译家杨宪益、戴乃迭夫妇所译。
