Questions of personal identity and authenticity – a focus of late-Ming philosophy – form a major aspect of his literary work. This reflects his own sense of being misunderstood, while an interest in the exotic and in characters marginal to mainstream society also reflects his own sense of being marginalised from official life. Dr Hardie’s seminar will address these issues and offer an opportunity to read and discuss passages from Ruan’s poetry and plays.
