Abstract

The Indiana Companion to Traditional Chinese Literature is the largest, most comprehensive reference work for pre-1911 literature. In spite of its size, the handbook is flawed by careless editing, numerous misprints, mistranslations, incorrect Romanizations, and an unacceptable number of factual errors.
