Earlier publications by the author (Chinese Shadow Theatre: History, Popular Religion and Women Warriors, Montreal, 2007 and Visions for the Masses: Shadow Plays from Shaanxi and Shanxi, Ithaca, 2010) contain complete translations into English of unique Chinese shadow plays. After 1949, the more than 30 remaining companies were forcefully disbanded, and only a state company continued to perform, albeit with apparent success. The translations are divided into three sections, the Post-Midnight Skits (with three translated skits), which is followed by the section on Historical Fiction (with three translated full plays) and the section Romance (with two translated plays).
