Feng Menglong (15741646) was recognized as the most knowledgeable connoisseur of popular literature of his time. He is known today for compiling three famous collections of vernacular short stories, each containing forty stories, collectively known as Sanyan.Appropriation and Representation adapts concepts of ventriloquism and dialogism from Bakhtin and Holquist to explore Fengs methods of selecting source materials. Shuhui Yang develops a model of development in which Fengs approach to selecting and working with his source materials becomes clear.More broadly, Appropriation and Representation locates Feng Menglongs Sanyan in the cultural milieu of the late Ming, including the archaist movement in literature, literati marginality and anxieties, the subversive use of folk works, and the meiren xiangcao traditionappropriating a female identity to express male frustration. Against this background, a rationale emerges for Fengs choice to elevate and promote the vernacular story while stepping back form an overt authorial role.
