He is especially famous for his poems lamenting the death and disorder that accompanied the decline, fall, and aftermath of the Jin dynasty, when the Mongols took over North China. Reading Yuan's poems, one feels his intense pain at the demise of the dynasty and his deeply felt need to preserve the historical and cultural record of civilization as he knew it. The poems are distinguished by breadth of learning, linguistic creativity, and allusive depth. They also reveal an abiding sense of irony, and occasional self-directed wry humor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Timothy Wixted's treatment of 150 of Yuan Haowen's poems distills available scholarship on the poet in Chinese, Japanese, and Western languages. The poems--lucidly introduced, interpreted, and explicated--are presented in romanization and translation as well as in the original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Timothy Wixted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9882373275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789882373273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chinese University of Hong Kong Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"John Timothy Wixted","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46465689485567,"sku":"9789882373273","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3992a86-bee5-4aac-a248-43517afcd770.jpg?v=1736346993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poetry-of-yuan-haowen-john-timothy-wixted-9789882373273","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
