Hanshan's poems gained a large readership in English-speaking countries following the publication of Jack Kerouac's novel \u003ci\u003eThe Dharma Bums\u003c\/i\u003e (1958) and Gary Snyder's translations (which began to appear that same year), and they have been translated into English more than any other body of Chinese verse. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRouzer investigates how Buddhism defined the way that believers may have read Hanshan in premodern times. He proposes a Buddhist poetics as a counter-model to the Confucian assumptions of Chinese literary thought and examines how texts by Kerouac, Snyder, and Jane Hirshfield respond to the East Asian Buddhist tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Rouzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295994991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295994994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Paul Rouzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064817529087,"sku":"9780295994994","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc3ce6a7-389a-4f74-b6b8-bf9478596c67.jpg?v=1768671229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-cold-mountain-paul-rouzer-9780295994994","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
