Hailed as the most important and most comprehensive single study of
Tang poetry to have appeared in English when originally published
by Yale University Press in 1981, this Quirin Press Revised Edition
brings back into print this much sought after title and offers the
full original text with the following features: Older Wade-Giles
transliteration fully updated and revised to the current Pinyin
standard; Fully re-typeset and proofed for typographical errors and
inconsistencies. New expanded index including Chinese characters;
Also available in a fully searchable E-book format including
Chinese unicode characters ISBN: 978-1-922169-07-5 (pdf) Following
Owen's analysis in "The Poetry of Early Tang" (also available from
Quirin Press) of poetry as an art of social gesture and occasion
this title explores the poetry of the High Tang which has often
been referred to as "apogee of all Chinese poetry." Rather than
merely defining the poetic art of eighth century China through Wang
Wei, Li Bai, and Du Fu, Owen delves into the norms of the age to
become acquainted with the symbiotic relationship that existed both
between the major and lesser talents of the age, and the overall
literary tradition. In these pages the poetry of the High Tang
comes to life as a self-conscious art form, which, combined with a
rekindling of China's poetic past, lead to a more personal mode of
expression and individual voice that culminated in the
unprecedented and dazzling efflorescence of the art. Extracts
