The late-imperial legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the "Butterfly Lovers" - a story as central to Chinese culture as Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is to Western culture - also relates a tale of two lovers held apart by social strictures. This volume offers translations of the earliest versions of the popular ballad.
