Beskrivning
With its fresh translations by newer voices in the field, its broad scope, and its flowing style, this anthology places the immense riches of Chinese literature within easy reach. Ranging from the beginnings to 1919, this abridged version of The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Chinese Literature retains all the characteristics of the original. In putting together these selections Victor H. Mair interprets "literature" very broadly to include not just literary fiction, poetry, and drama, but folk and popular literature, lyrics and arias, elegies and rhapsodies, biographies, autobiographies and memoirs, letters, criticism and theory, and travelogues and jokes.

Innovative, talented, lively and splendidly readable. Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society The list of translators reads like a Who's Who of Western sinology. This is a book one can open at any page and immediately be drawn in by its great and appealing content. It is at once a reference book, with examples drawn from the huge corpus of Chinese literature, and a book which guarantees superb reading pleasure. New Asia Review A lifetime spent reading Chinese literature has produced this enormous, enthralling, canon-exploding book... Often, the funniest and liveliest entries are translated by the editor himself, who has an uncanny ability to caputre puns and rhymes even in English translation... Wonderful. Revue Bibliographique de Sinologie
