Although their Mongol overlords (beginning with the founding of the Yuan dynasty by Kublai Khan in 1280) tyrannized the Chinese in nearly every area of life, the arts enjoyed a newfound freedom. On the one hand oppressed, on the other released from the straightjacket of Confucianism, the Chinese made the most of recent developments in poetry and drama. Yuan plays were a tonic, an amazing spectaclecolorful outbursts of singing, dancing, music, acting and mime. They poured new life into old storiesoppressors were ridiculed, servants became masters, scenes changed, day followed night in the twinkling of an eyeand audiences flocked to enjoy what must have been complete entertainment.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the Englishspeaking world.
