Compares the narrative expression of sexual sublimation and perversion in two 18th-century French novels with that in two classical Chinese novels. The works, Julie, ou la nouvelle Heloise and Les Liaisons dangereuses, and The Golden lotus and Dream of the red chamber, were chosen to illustrate a period before significant culture intercourse between the two countries, and because their status as major literary works has raised them above the particular context of their origin. Also available in paper (unseen), $14.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
