Having multiple wives was one of the mainstays of male privilege during the Ming and Qing dynasties of late imperial China. Based on a comprehensive reading of eighteenth-century Chinese novels and a theoretical approach grounded in poststructuralist, psychoanalytic, and feminist criticism, Misers, Shrews, and Polygamists examines how such privilege functions in these novels and provides the first full account of literary representations of sexuality and gender in pre-modern China.In many examples of rare erotic fiction, and in other works as well-known as Dream of the Red Chamber, Keith McMahon identifies a sexual economy defined by the figures of the "miser" and the "shrew"—caricatures of the retentive, self-containing man and the overflowing, male-enervating woman. Among these and other characters, the author explores the issues surrounding the practice of polygamy, the logic of its overvaluation of masculinity, and the nature of sexuality generally in Chinese society. How does the man with many wives manage and justify his sexual authority? Why and how might he escape or limit this presumed authority, sometimes to the point of portraying himself as abject before the shrewish woman? How do women accommodate or coddle the man, or else oppose, undermine, or remold him? And in what sense does the man place himself lower than the spiritually and morally superior woman?The most extensive English-language study of Chinese literature from the eighteenth century, this examination of polygamy will interest not only students of Chinese history, culture, and literature but also all those concerned with histories of gender and sexuality.

Après la conquête de l’Égypte par Alexandre (hiver 332-331 av. J.-C.), de nombreux hellénophones s’installent dans le pays, espérant y trouver la réussite. Ils apportent avec eux leur langue et leur mode de vie. L’esclavage fait partie de celui-ci. La mort de Cléopâtre en 30 av. J.-C. entraîne l’annexion du pays par Rome. Des Romains s’établissent en Égypte, mais le latin y est infiniment moins utilisé que le grec, langue pratiquée par l’élite romaine. Ces Romains emploient aussi les esclaves. Grecs, Romains et même Égyptiens rédigent sur papyrus et ostraca (tessons de céramique ou éclats de pierre), en grec ou en latin, une série de documents variés, officiels ou privés, dans lesquels apparaissent des esclaves. Dans ce livre, l’auteur présente un choix de ces documents écrits entre 30 av. J.-C. et 400 apr. J.-C. Ces documents illustrent de manière originale la vie des esclaves dans l’Égypte romaine sous les titres suivants : devenir esclave, changer de maître, l’esclave utilisé, l’esclave contribuable, l’esclave différent, l’esclave malfaiteur, l’esclave maltraité ou puni, l’esclave fugitif, l’esclave et ses maîtres, cesser d’être esclave. Chaque document est traduit et accompagné d’un commentaire qui en permet une bonne compréhension.
