Nine renowned sinologists present a range of studies that display
the riches of medieval Chinese verse in varied guises. All major
verse-forms, including shi, fu, and ci, are examined, with a
special focus on poetry's negotiation with tradition and historical
context. Dozens of previously untranslated works are here rendered
in English for the first time, and readers will enter a literary
culture that was deeply infused with imperatives of wit, learning,
and empathy. Among the diverse topics met with in this volume are
metaphysical poetry as a medium of social exchange, the place of
ruins in Chinese poetry, the reality and imaginary of frontier
borderlands, the enigma of misattribution, and how a 19th-century
Frenchwoman discovered Tang poetry for the Western world.
Contributors include Timothy Wai Keung Chan, Robert Joe Cutter,
Ronald Egan, David R. Knechtges, Paul W. Kroll, Stephen Owen, Wendy
Swartz, Ding Xiang Warner, and Pauline Yu.
