Zhang Longxi, an internationally renowned scholar of Chinese and
comparative literature, is your guide to the three-millennia-long
history of Chinese literature from the remote antiquity of oracle
bones to contemporary works. Professor Zhang charts the development
of the major literary forms in Chinese, including poetry, prose,
song lyrics, and plays, and introduces the most famous poets and
writers and their representative texts. Taking a period-based
approach through the major dynasties, he places these forms, texts,
and authors within their historical contexts and tells the
fascinating story of Chinese literature with copious examples in
English translation. He writes in a clear and accessible style and
assumes no prior knowledge of Chinese history or Chinese
literature. This book is an ideal introduction for students and the
general readers who want to get a broad but thorough overview of
Chinese literature in all its richness and diversity.
