<< review queue entry 55851 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> Surely he didn't write this novel at the age of twelve? Other sources all give the birth-date I've inserted. ------------------------------------------------------------- Editor: 1295-1307 are the estimated dates that he was *active* as a writer (rather than *alive*). That's what they say explicitly here anyway: "Wang, Shifu, active 1295-1307" http://trove.nla.gov.au/people/1320161?c=people Various refs also say "fl. 1295-1307" ("fl." is an abbreviation for "floruit", meaning "flourished") http://labs.libhub.org/denverpl/resource/9B5nW05S/ As for the dates of his birth and death, nobody seems to know. I can find "(probably mid- to late-thirteenth century)" http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803120820109 "c. 1250, Dadu [now Beijing], China—died 1337?" http://www.britannica.com/biography/Wang-Shifu ca. 1250-1300 The Story of the Western Wing - Page 3 - Google Books Result 1280-ca. 1368 http://www.mcnbiografias.com/app-bio/do/show?key=wang-shifu 1271-1368 http://gotheborg.com/glossary/westernchamber.shtml |
