Scott W. Gregory is a scholar of Chinese literature and intellectual history whose work focuses on the evolution of narrative form and print culture in late imperial China. He is the author of *Bandits in Print: The Water Margin and the Transformations of the Chinese Novel*, published by Cornell University Press in 2023, which examines how successive printed editions of *The Water Margin* reshaped the text’s themes, moral framework, and readership. Gregory analyzes commentary traditions, editorial interventions, and publishing practices to show how the novel’s meaning changed over time in response to political, social, and commercial pressures. His research situates *The Water Margin* within broader developments in Chinese literary culture, authorship, and the history of the book.
