First published in 1988, this reissue is an important work in
the field of national literary exchange. Declared by American
Library Association in its Choice publication one of the ten best
reference works of 1988, the volume has survived global change -
politically, socially, economically, religiously, aesthetically -
to promote cultural dialogue between China and the West. Besides
the scores of annotated sources, the introductory essays remain as
authentic and moving as the day of their appearance.
Equally to be observed is accelerating demand, especially in
academic institutions, for global cultural exchange through
national literatures. How can we of the English-speaking world, for
example, adequately understand and converse with our Chinese
counterparts without some appreciation of their culture, notably of
Confucian and Taoist roles in their history as reflected in their
literature?
Overall, a pioneering work whose reissue will be welcomed by
both scholars and general readers alike.
