Although other authors have studied these three aspects of \u003ci\u003eDou E yuan\u003c\/i\u003e separately, this is the first comprehensive treatment of the topic as a scholarly monograph in English. Yumin Ao’s analysis is based on the edition of the play in the \u003ci\u003eYuanqu xuan\u003c\/i\u003e [A Selection of Yuan Plays] compiled by the Ming publisher Zang Maoxun (ca. 1550–1620). Ao proposes that \u003ci\u003eDou E yuan,\u003c\/i\u003e as a dramatic narrative which develops through its enactment on the stage rather than by verbal presentation as a story, displays its integrative structure of narration through its thematic development and within its musical conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050128163056,"sku":"9781433130557","price":86.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433130557_p0.jpg?v=1763754978","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433130557","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
