This book, first published in 1967, gives us a rich sampling of
ch'u, the characteristic poem of the time of Yuan, when China was
under Mongol rule. The ch'u was a popular form of poetry in the
sense that although it was written by literati, they wrote in the
vernacular rather than in Classical Chinese. Each poem was written
to be sung to an already popular tune. In addition to the 'final
translations', the steps by which the translators proceeded from a
literal, character-by-character translation through several
intermediate stages to the final version are revealed in detail.
