This concise introduction to Chinese poetry serves as a primer for
English-speakers eager to expand their understanding and enjoyment
of Chinese culture. James J. Y. Liu first examines the Chinese
language as a medium of poetic expression and, contrary to the
usual focus on the visual qualities of Chinese script, emphasizes
the auditory effects of Chinese verse. He provides a succinct
survey of Chinese poetry theory and concludes with his own view of
poetry, based upon traditional Chinese concepts.
"[This] books should be read by all those interested in Chinese
poetry."--Achilles Fang, "Poetry"
"[This is] a significant contribution to the understanding and
appreciation of Chinese poetry, lucidly presented in a way that
will attract a wide audience, and offering an original synthesis of
Chinese and Western views that will stimulate and inspire students
of poetry everywhere."--Hans H. Frankel, "Harvard Journal of
Asiatic Studies"
"This is a book which can be recommended without reservation to
anyone who wants to explore the world of Chinese poetry in
translation."--James R. Hightower, "Journal of Asian Studies"
