About This Item
New. Zhang Longxi, an internationally renowned scholar of Chinese and comparative literature, is your guide to the three millennia-long history of Chinese literature from the remote antiquity of oracle bones to contemporary works. Professor Zhang charts the development of the major literary forms in Chinese, including poetry, prose, song lyrics and plays and introducing the most famous poets and writers and their canonical texts. Taking a period-based approach through the major dynasties, he places these forms, texts and authors within their historical contexts and tells the fascinating story of Chinese literature with copious examples in English translation. He writes in a clear and accessible style and assumes no prior knowledge of Chinese history or Chinese literature. This book is an ideal introduction for students and the general readers who want to get a broad but thorough overview of Chinese literature in all its richness and diversity.
