| Description: |
Including selections of Chinese literature from the beginnings to 1919, this anthology is arranged according to genre rather than chronology. It interprets 'literature' very broadly to include literary fiction, poetry, and drama, and also folk and popular literature, lyrics and arias, elegies and rhapsodies, biographies, autobiographies and more. |
| Synopsis: |
With its fresh translations by newer voices in the field, its broad scope, and its flowing style, this anthology places the immense riches of Chinese literature within easy reach. Ranging from the beginnings to 1919, this abridged version of The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Chinese Literature retains all the characteristics of the original. In putting together these selections Victor H. Mair interprets "literature" very broadly to include not just literary fiction, poetry, and drama, but folk and popular literature, lyrics and arias, elegies and rhapsodies, biographies, autobiographies and memoirs, letters, criticism and theory, and travelogues and jokes. |
