| Description: |
This account of the development of Chinese literature from the very beginning up to the present brings the riches of this literary tradition into focus for the general reader. Organized chronologically, the 55 chapters cover all genres and periods of poetry, prose, fiction and drama. |
| Synopsis: |
The Columbia History of Chinese Literature is a comprehensive yet portable guide to China's vast literary traditions. Stretching from earliest times to the present, the text features original contributions by leading specialists working in all genres and periods. Chapters cover poetry, prose, fiction, and drama, and consider such contextual subjects as popular culture, the impact of religion, the role of women, and China's relationship with non-Sinitic languages and peoples. Opening with a major section on the linguistic and intellectual foundations of Chinese literature, the anthology traces the development of forms and movements over time, along with critical trends, and pays particular attention to the premodern canon. |
