Description

Book Synopsis
Owen analyzes the redirection of poetry following the deaths of the major poets of the High and Mid-Tang and the rejection of their poetic styles. In the Late Tang, the poetic past was beginning to assume the form it would have for the next millenniuma repertoire of styles, genres, and the voices of past poets.

Trade Review
Over the last several decades, Owen has distinguished himself as one of the world’s foremost scholars of the poetry of the Tang dynasty (618–906)… As always, Owen’s analysis of literary history is keen and penetrating, and his translations from the Chinese are both readable and faithful to the original poems. This is one of the most important studies on Tang poetry to appear in recent years. -- J. M. Hargett * Choice *
