Xiaoqiao Ling's main field of interest is late imperial Chinese literature with a focus on performance texts, vernacular fiction, and the print culture. She has published in both Chinese and English on fiction and drama commentary, legal imagination in literature, memory and trauma in 17th-century China. Her first book, Feeling the Past in Seventeenth-Century China (Harvard University Asia Center, 2019), explores traumatic memories and their transmission across generations during the Manchu conquest of China. She is currently working on a second book-length project on the romantic play The Story of the Western Wing. By tracing how various social groups across cultural and regional geographies interpreted, adapted, and appropriated the play, this project aims at investigating how the play's social life sustained its iconic status in early modern East Asian cultural sphere.
