This volume presents a complete, annotated English translation of 'Reminiscences of the Plum-shaded Convent', an important and widely circulated memoir written by the early Qing dynasty scholar-official Mao Xiang (1611-1693), in which he fondly recalls his brief life with, and deep love for, the multi-talented concubine Dong Xiaowan (1624-1651).
