The Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE) is regarded as the golden age of
classical Chinese literature. Compiled by award-winner author
William H. Nienhauser, Jr., and Michael E. Naparstek, this is the
first English-language biographical dictionary on this critical era
in Chinese literary culture. The Biographical Dictionary of Tang
Dynasty Literati contains 140 entries, including major figures like
Du Fu and Li Bo, as well as entries on lesser-studied figures
including Buddhist, Daoist, and women writers. To provide a
complete sense of these men and women, each piece contains an
overview of the subject's life, supported by translations and close
readings of their writing and concludes with a bibliography of
original sources, critical editions, translations, and studies in
multiple languages. Appended are a literary timeline of the Tang
and a glossary of official titles making the Dictionary an
indispensable resource for all interested in classical Chinese
literature.
