Introduction
Chiu-kuei Wang (1943–) graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, National Taiwan University (NTU), where he first served as a professor. After obtaining his master’s degree in 1969, he pursued further studies in the UK, earning his doctorate from the University of Cambridge in 1978. He then returned to Taiwan to begin his professorship at NTU. In 1986, Wang joined the East Asian Library, Princeton University, as a specialist as well as serving as a lecturer at the Department of East Asian Studies. Again returning to Taiwan in 1989, he taught successively at National Tsing Hua University and Hsuan Chuang University. Wang’s research largely centers on traditional Chinese theater, popular legend, religious ritual, and international Sinology studies within the field of Chinese vernacular literature.
Fonds contents comprises fifteen items of correspondences between Chiu-kuei Wang and numerous scholars during the 1980s, including Ta-wei Yu (1897–1993), Wan-li Chu (1907–1979), Ying-shih Yu (1930–2021), Cho-yun Hsu (1930–2025), Tung-kuei Kuan (1931–2019), Pang-hsin Ting (1936–2023), Kwang-chih Chang (1931–2001), and James T. C. Liu (1919–1993), among others. Topics encompass academic exchanges, poetry exchanges, conference preparations and invitations, scholarly community communications, as well as administrative matters such as book and microfilm acquisition and archiving. These documents are thus a significant look into the academic networks between Taiwan and the international Sinology community during the 1980s.
