Description
Classical Chinese Poetry: An Anthology by David Hinton brings together nearly five hundred poems from China's rich and far-reaching poetic tradition. Spanning over three millennia, this comprehensive anthology provides a readable history of the period's landmark developments.
The book focuses on a relatively small number of poets, showcasing their unique voices through large selections that recreate each poet as fully realized. From classic texts to intensely personal lyrics, Hinton has collected an entire world of beauty and insight in his translations. These ancient poems feel remarkably fresh and contemporary, presenting a literature both radically new and entirely resonant.
