I am Associate Professor of Chinese literature at Lingnan university in Hong Kong. I can be reached at yuanfeiwang@LN.edu.hk.
My first book Writing Pirates: Vernacular Fiction and Oceans in Late Ming China was published by the University of Michigan Press in 2021. Please read the book’s reviews and its grant and award history here.
My academic research interests include but are not limited to: the sea and the literature, pirates, early globalism and China’s literature, gender studies, material culture and literature, performance studies, and translation studies.
I am now working on three projects:
