| Ye Xiaoqing's book is a very accessible, comprehensive, and often entertaining overview of a popular Shanghai publication. The book is more a summary of Shanghai urban life as it was represented in the Dianshizhai Pictorial than a critical study of the publication itself as a new genre in China's emerging urban print culture in the late nineteenth century. |
