I thought it might be useful to make a list of books, papers, or translations on wuxia, martial arts, or other historical fiction in literature or media. Maybe you will find something of interest.
List will be updated hopefully.
Note that this is not an endorsement of any of this work. I do not really know how to assess this scholarship.
One comment though is that I really like the articles and translations from the Wuxia Wanderings blog.
