歷來研究李漁的通俗文學作品中，少有針對《十二樓》文本單獨的論述研究，然而《十二樓》以各個樓名講述不同的故事，可以窺見李漁對於整個社會層面的問題觀點。本文選擇以〈鶴歸樓〉作為研究範例，是因愛情題材一直是傳統小說重要的關懷層面，往往涉及道德和情慾的對立問題；再者〈鶴歸樓〉善用對立、似是而非的說道形式，具有鮮明的代表性。本文以敘事學的觀點來分析〈鶴歸樓〉，然而若純然用敘事學的觀點分析，將無法完整窺視中國傳統小說的特色，是故在借用西方文學理論的同時，勢必得考量中國傳統小說的特色而進行調整。首先藉由敘事學的話語分析來看〈鶴歸樓〉如何將單純的愛情素材加工，顯現出不一樣的藝術手法，其次再藉由小說的人物分析，探討〈鶴歸樓〉如何利用形象的塑造而製造出衝突、懸疑，最後回歸到晚明的歷史軸，探討時代、作者創作、以及讀者閱讀，三者形成的空間關係來探討。
