In this "guided" anthology, experts lead students through the
major genres and eras of Chinese poetry from antiquity to the
modern time. The volume is divided into 6 chronological sections
and features more than 140 examples of the best shi, sao, fu, ci,
and qu poems. A comprehensive introduction and extensive thematic
table of contents highlight the thematic, formal, and prosodic
features of Chinese poetry, and each chapter is written by a
scholar who specializes in a particular period or genre. Poems are
presented in Chinese and English and are accompanied by a
tone-marked romanized version, an explanation of Chinese linguistic
and poetic conventions, and recommended reading strategies. Sound
recordings of the poems are available online free of charge. These
unique features facilitate an intense engagement with Chinese
poetical texts and help the reader derive aesthetic pleasure and
insight from these works as one could from the original.
The companion volume "How to Read Chinese Poetry Workbook"
presents 100 famous poems (56 are new selections) in Chinese,
English, and romanization, accompanied by prose translation,
textual notes, commentaries, and recordings.
