Excerpt from A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems
In making this book I have tried to avoid poems which have been translated before. A hundred and forty of those I have chosen have not been translated by any one else. 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 the "Seventeen Old Poems," "Autumn Wind," "Li Fu jen," and "On the Death of his Father") already skilfully rhymed by Professor Giles in "Chinese 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 the "Bulletin of the School of Oriental Studies," in the "New Statesman," in the "Little Review" (Chicago), and in "Poetry" (Chicago).

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique window into the world of ancient Chinese poetry. The author dives into the nuances of Chinese poetic technique, exploring the historical evolution of rhyme, tone, and the interplay of form and content. A fascinating discussion of the social and political context of Chinese poetry unfolds, with the author delving into the reasons for the lack of epic and dramatic literature, and the prevalence of love poems and elegies. The author explores themes of friendship, loss, and the enduring power of tradition in ancient Chinese society. We are shown how these themes, often woven into the fabric of the poems themselves, reveal a profound understanding of human nature. This book provides a fresh perspective on a rich and often overlooked literary tradition, demonstrating the enduring relevance of Chinese poetry for understanding the human condition across time and cultures.
