This path-breaking book examines the broad cultural, social, and gender meanings of the "faithful maiden" cult in late imperial China (1368-1911). Across the empire, an increasing number of young women or "faithful maidens" defied their parents' wishes and chose either to live out their lives as widows upon the death of a fiance or to kill themselves to join their fiance in death. Concentrating on the dramatic acts of spirit wedding and suicide, the faithful maidens' unique code of conduct, and the extraordinary life journey of "virgin mothers," Lu documents the ideological, psychological, cultural, and economic aspects of these young women's mentality and behaviour, and the implications of this behavior for their families and the broader society. The book's narrative of the faithful maiden cult interweaves late imperial political, cultural, social and intellectual history, thus providing a new window onto the history of the late imperial period.
