Tu Fu is, by universal consent, the greatest poet of the Chinese
tradition. In the epochal An Lu-shan rebellion, he alone of his
contemporaries consistently recorded in poetry the great events and
pervasive sufferings of the time. For a millennium, Tu Fu's poetry
has been accepted as epitomizing the Chinese moral conscience at
its highest, and as such his work has been placed almost beyond the
reach of criticism. In Reconsidering Tu Fu, Eva Shan Chou defuses
these formidable problems by examining Tu Fu as both a cultural
monument and a poet. She investigates the evolution of his stature
as an icon and shows its continuing effect upon interpretations of
Tu Fu's work. Dr Chou provides translations of many poems, both
well known and obscure. Her analyses are both original in their
formulation and considerate of the many fine readings of
traditional commentators.
