Since its first publication in French in 1977, Chinese Poetic
Writing has been considered by many to be the most innovative study
of Chinese poetry ever written, as well as a profound and
remarkable meditation on the nature of poetry itself. As the
American poet Gustaf Sobin wrote, two years after the book's
appearance, "In France it is already considered a model of
interdisciplinary research, a source book, and a `star' in the very
space it initially explored, traced, and elaborated." Cheng
illustrates his text with an annotated anthology of 135 poems he
has selected from the Tang dynasty, presented bilingually, and with
lively translations by Jerome P. Seaton. It serves as a book within
the book, and an excellent introduction to the golden age of Tu Fu,
Li Po, Wang Wei, and company. The 1982 translation, long out of
print, was based on the first French edition. Since then, Cheng has
greatly expanded the book. This is the first English-language
edition of the expanded version, with the original translators
returning to accommodate the many new additions and revise their
earlier work.
