Reviews
"""What I like most is the wealth of detail and the meticulous attention to primary evidence, combined with an overall appreciation of the broader cultural and historical context of the problems that have defied solution for centuries. ""The book is filled with original lines of inquiry and conclusions; the articles are of uncommon interest and intellectual challenge."" - John Knoblock, University of Miami ""Shaughnessy has produced outstanding work and played a pioneering role in opening the field of Western Zhou studies. These essays represent the first broad exploration of pre-Classical China as a literary culture that created texts of generic diversity and of intellectual and aesthetic subtlety. His combination of precise scholarship and fresh imagination will stimulate students of history, literature, and religion alike."" - Robert Eno, Indiana University"
