The Finest Souls of Our Rivers and Alps
A High Tang Poetry Anthology
Language
English; ChineseAbstract
The first translation into any language of the only anthology of "High Tang" poetry actually compiled during that period, long renowned as the golden age of Chinese poetry. This anthology, of 230 poems in various forms by twenty-four different poets, was completed in 753 and provides a rare and therefore uniquely valuable contemporary view of what one well-informed reader considered the best verse of the age.
