Classic Chinese Poems of Mourning and Texts of Lament: An Anthology
Victor H. Mair-Zhenjun Zhang
Bathed with the blood and tears of countless poets and authors and naturally expressing the most heartfelt emotions of ancient peoples, poems of mourning and texts of lament stand out in classical Chinese literature as brilliant and unique. Composed and celebrated over 3000 years, they are central to the Chinese literary tradition but have been largely unknown to English readers. Including over 100 major pieces by leading literary figures from 800 BCE â 1800, this is the first English anthology of classic Chinese poems of mourning and texts of sacrificial offering.
With annotated translations by leading scholars and reading guides accompanying each piece, this book reveals a powerful literary heritage to students and serious readers of Chinese literature, history and civilization.
