This book, first published in 1965, covers a period of one thousand
years and collects together some of the best examples of Chinese
Lyrics (tz’u). The authors reflect in translation not only the
spirit of the original, but also something of its poetical
ornamentations and lyric pattern. The Chinese original of each poem
faces the English and is written in a Chinese scholar’s
distinguished calligraphy. A ‘Note on the Development of the
Chinese Lyric’ and several Appendices provide the reader with
brief but illuminating social, cultural and historical background.
This book, first published in 1969, builds on the authors’ first
selection and contains a selection of Chinese lyrics (tz’u)
mainly from Sung Dynasty poets who made this verse-form lastingly
popular. Two of these poets, Su Shih and Hsin Ch’i Chi, add a
fresh and robust note to the traditional theme of nostalgia and
separation. As in the previous volume, the Chinese original,
written with a scholar’s brush, faces the English translation.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
