This superlative study of the Golden Age of Chinese poetry, based on nearly 50,000 poems written by more than 2,000 poets, captures not only the pulse of that period but also the spirit and the soul. The poets of ancient China were singing their songs to the 20th century, indeed for all time, and Dr. Wu, with the soul of a poet himself, interprets them with deep understanding. He knows the singers as they worked in the fields of millet, repaired the river dikes, or gathered marshmallows at the time of the Ch'ing Ming Festival, and faithfully records their emotions. Of this Tang blossoming, Dr. Wu says that for nearly thirteen centuries. after Christ, poetry in Europe, with the exception of Juvenal, kept a death~like silence. It hibernated so long that when it woke up again in the person of Dante, the last poetic voice it could remember was that of Virgil. It seems as though Mother Earth purposely rocked Europe to sleep for some time that she might teach Asia to sing. And sing Asia did, through the medium of the T' ang poets, who faithfully traced the temper of the times. In their poems are the earliest songs of the people, from princes to peasants; in them are the registers of the "psychological mutations of the human spirit." Dr. Wu feels that the T'ang poetry, like the soul of universal man, falls naturally into four seasons. Spring is represented by the Bohemian Li Po, who wrote "virtuoso fantasies and heightened evocations oflandscapes." Legend says that he drowned while drunkenly trying to embrace the moon's reflection. Summer poets included Tu Fu, who put into his poetry the hardship and sorrows of his own life and those of the common people. Because of his broad humanity and meticulous craftsmanship, many Chinese consider him their greatest poet. These poetic interpretations, including comparisons with many Western poets such as Shakespeare and T. S. Eliot, represent a remarkable scholarly achievement. N° de réf. du vendeur 10161702
