Reviews

In this game-changing tome, Professor Zhang traces those topics that mattered most to poets, writers, and readers in China from ancient through modern times, including love, social justice, the challenges of life and the natural, among others. In lucid prose he furnishes easy access to the masters, schools, and debates that every literary scholar of China needs to know, so not only students, but specialists alike will find themselves perusing this book again and again. ---Professor Martin Powers, Professor Emeritus in the History of Art, formerly Sally Michelson Davidson Professor of Chinese Arts and Culture at the University of Michigan
