Mao Zedong was not only a great strategist and politician but also
a poet, a philosopher, and calligrapher. As early as the 1940s
Mao's poetry was earning critical and popular acclaim. Mao Zedong
as Poet and Revolutionary Leader makes all of Mao's extant poems
available here for the first time in English. This comprehensive
collection offers a unique portrait of Mao's contribution to modern
China and his later frustration as he witnessed the country turning
from his revolutionary path into a gigantic bureaucracy. Far from
descending into mere hagiography, Chunhou Zhang and Edward
Vaughan's work presents a balanced picture of Mao as an individual
and as a military and political leader. These literal translations
of Mao's poetry are framed by a commentary on the meaning, pattern,
and style of the original texts--written in the classical style Mao
forbade China's youth to emulate--and presented in the context of
the social history of the time.
