Reviews

<br> Jonathan Stock has made a valuable contribution to the field of Chinese music studies in particular and to musicology in general. --Music and Letters<br> This richly descriptive book with a uniquely critical analysis of the huju music is the first book that has ever been written in English or perhaps in any Western language on the subject.... Stock's book is a pioneering effort in the study of huju in Western languages and offers a refreshing model for both Chinese and Western scholars of music and theatre in writing about less studied local music-dramas in China. His work deserves warm commendation and emulation. --Wenwei Du, The World of Music<br>
