《七侠五义》是中国平民文学中的一个流派——侠义公案小说的代表性作品。小说描叙的是公元11世纪，中国北宋(960～1127)年间一群侠义之士归服清官包拯，并协助包拯断案除害的故事。该小说脱胎于清代(1644～1911)著名艺人石玉昆的说书，后由文人俞樾加以润饰，修订而成。书中故事曲折离奇，语言风趣流畅，塑造出了展昭、白玉堂等12位侠客义士，人物形象生动鲜明。该书问世后，轰动一时，上至文人名仕，下至市井小民皆陶醉其中。 《七侠五义))成书于公元19世纪的清朝后期，也是中国君主专制社会的末期。当时整个社会弥漫着愤懑不平和焦躁不安的情绪，侠义公案小说在此时诞生，他在一定程度上宣泄着百姓对社会的不满，同时也反映了百姓把希望寄托在辅佐清官的侠士身上的意识。这类小说都是从口头文学到书面文学，具有浓厚的市井气息和民间说唱

《太平广记》是成书于北宋太平兴国年间（976～984）的中国古代小说总集，收录了上自先秦、下至北宋初年的小说作品约7000则。这些作品的内容以志怪传奇为主，通过简洁洗练的文字，记录或叙述一个个异闻趣事。该书所记录的题材内容，以及所形成的志怪传奇的艺术形式，对中国文言小说以至中国文学的发展影响巨大，宋以后，许多作者从《太平广记》中选取题材、转引故事，加以敷衍，创造传奇和戏曲。同时，该书引用的四百余种书籍，大多已经失传，正是得益于《太平广记》的采录保存，这些失传的古籍文献才能为后人所了解和认识。 本书选录了《太平广记》中较为成熟的篇目共155篇，中文版本选自中华书局出版的汪绍楹点校本，英文选自张光前译本。

“评话”，原是讲说故事的一种民间表演技艺，在宋代的城市里极为盛行。后来，这类口头表演的内容被记录整理成书面文字，称为“话本”或者“白话小说”。元代时开始专指演叙历史题材的白话小说为评话，到了明清两代，评话便成了涵盖各种题材的白话小说的通称。“评话”以城市中的普通大众作为主要的读者对象，语言通俗易懂，内容也多是反映市井小人物的荣枯沉浮和悲欢离合，表现的是与传统士大夫诗文迥然不同的市俗精神风貌，有着极高的文学、艺术价值。 《喻世明言》、《警世通言》、《醒世恒言》、《拍案惊奇》和《二刻拍案惊奇》（合称“三言二拍”）是五部为著名的宋明短篇白话小说集，其中很多作品在成书后不久即被翻译成多种外文，流传到世界各地。本书的20篇作品均选自于上述五部小说集，英文部分由著名的翻译家杨宪益、戴乃迭
