Description

8vo br. ed. , 226pp, appendices, index. "In this study, one of the leading specialists in classical Chinese literature introduces readers to a repertoire of 77 songs and ballads of early imperial China. Each song-text is newly translated and fully annotated and explicated. Anne Birrell deals systematically with problems of the earliest sources, attribution, textual variations, meter, and structure. Her introductory essay provides a valuable sociohistorical context for this material." Publisher's blurb.
