The Phantom Heroine: Ghosts and Gender in Seventheenth-century Chinese LiteratureThe Phantom Heroine: Ghosts and Gender in Seventheenth-century Chinese Literature

The "phantom heroine"--in particular the fantasy of her resurrection through sex with a living man--is one of the most striking features of traditional Chinese literature. Even today the hypersexual female ghost continues to be a source of fascination in East Asian media, much like the sexually predatory vampire in American and European movies, TV, and novels. But while vampires can be of either gender, erotic Chinese ghosts are almost exclusively female. The significance of this gender asymmetry in Chinese literary history is the subject of Judith Zeitlin's elegantly written and meticulously researched new book.

The Famous Heroine by Mary Balogh

Cora Downes was only a merchant's daughter. But when she saved a duke's son from drowning, her reward was entry into London high society.

But nothing could save her from the threat of heartbreak--nothing, perhaps, except a most unlikely love.
