The half-dozen generations from 100 B.C. to A.D. 100 were
epoch-making in Chinese history, and there is a real need for
"vignetting sketches of manner, character, and thought" based on
documents identifiable as to date and authorship. Fortunately such
documents are available in the fu (Chinese literary form) on the
Two Capitals by Pan Ku and Chang Heng. Insights into Han life and
beliefs are offered through the translation and paraphrase of the
fu, with extensive critique and commentary Originally published in
1960. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
