\"Warring<\/a>Dissertation Reviews<\/a> has posted Mick Hunter<\/a>‘s review of Kuan-yun Huang<\/a>‘s dissertation, Warring States \u201cEchoes\u201d of the Past<\/em><\/a>. Here\u2019s how it begins:<\/p>\n

In Warring States \u201cEchoes\u201d of the Past<\/em>, Kuan-yun Huang sets out to establish \u201ca methodology for the study of quotations\u201d (p. vi) through an examination of ancient Chinese practice as it emerges in multiple received and excavated sources. Although primarily interested in the intertextuality of the Guodian \u90ed\u5e97 manuscript corpus, a collection of bamboo strips discovered outside of Jingmen \u834a\u9580, Hubei province, in 1994, Huang takes the reader on a wide-ranging tour of the early Chinese textual record in his effort to compare those quotations with parallels elsewhere. In the course of his study, the quotations that dot Warring States literature are revealed to be textual icebergs of a sort, the surface manifestations of various \u201cshared discourse[s]\u201d consisting of certain \u201cassumptions, vocabulary, rhetorical patterns, and even conclusions\u201d (p. 233). Quotation was not simply a matter of borrowing material from a well-known text. As Huang demonstrates, quoting authors\u2019 experience of quotable texts was mediated by a wealth of interpretive traditions, material which is crucial to understanding the nature of early Chinese intertextuality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
