Unlike earlier anthologies of Chinese poetry, Hinton's book focuses on a relatively small number of poets, providing selections that are large enough to re-create each as a fully realized and unique voice. New introductions to each poet's work provide a readable history, told for the first time as a series of poetic innovations forged by a series of master poets. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the classic texts of Chinese philosophy to intensely personal lyrics, from love poems to startling and strange perspectives on nature, Hinton has collected an entire world of beauty and insight. And in his eye-opening translations, these ancient poems feel remarkably fresh and contemporary, presenting a literature both radically new and entirely resonant, in \u003ci\u003eClassical Chinese Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hinton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374531900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374531904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.50d","brand":"David Hinton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050873483519,"sku":"9780374531904","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17669ba2-abb0-4d6e-85fe-e1ea3a6c303e.jpg?v=1685009753","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/classical-chinese-poetry-david-hinton-9780374531904","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
