Critical Readings on Tang China: Volume 2

The four-volume set contains 57 articles and book chapters that comprise a representative survey of English-language scholarship from the past three generations on the Tang dynasty of China, which was officially founded on 18 June 618 and officially terminated on 5 June 907. This second volume considers literature and cultural history from such perspectives as the significance of the fu in the history of T'ang poetry, tamed kite and stranded interference and apology in Lu Chao-lin's fu, Li Po's letters in pursuit of political patronage, poems in their collections and canons in early Chinese literature, and the formation of the Tang estate poem. The four volumes are paged and indexed together. Annotation ©2019 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
