170 Chinese Poems - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The remaining thirty odd I have included in many cases because the previous versions were full of mistakes; in others, because the works in which they appeared are no longer procurable. Moreover, they are mostly in German, a language with which my readers may not all be acquainted. With some hesitation I have included literal versions of six poems (three of theS eventeen Old Poems, Autumn Wind, Li Fu jen, andO nthe Death of his Father )already skilfully rhymed by Professor Giles inC hinese Poetry in English Verse. They were too typical to omit; and a comparison of the two renderings may be of interest. Some of these translations have appeared in theB ulletin of theS chool ofO riental Studies, in theN ewS tatesman, in theL ittle Review Chicago), and in Poetry (C hicago).
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
