What is A brief history of Chinese fiction about?

This classic treatise on Chinese literature was originally published in English in 1959. Its author is Lu Xun (1881--1936), one of the most critically and culturally significant literary figures in 20th century China, and a figurehead of China's New Culture movement. This book originated from Lu Xun's own lectures on the historical development of Chinese fiction from early myths and legends to the finely-honed epic novels of 18th and 19th century China. This remarkable book is therefore one of the first systematic studies of the history of Chinese fiction by a Chinese writer. A core text on Chinese literature, it still commands great influence among Chinese and Western scholars even today
