A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is the first attempt ever made to deal with any single Chinese poet exclusively in one book for the purpose of introducing him to theE nglish-speaking world. Li Po has been the best-known Chinese poet in theO rient for the last one thousand years or more. In America his name has only recently bei made familiar to the poetry public throu the translation of his poems by eminent contemporary poets. But as theB ibliography at the end of the present volume indicates, Li Po variously designated asL eP ih, Ly Pe, Li Taipe, Li Tai-pO ye$ cet. has been known more or less toE urope during the past century. A prominent place is accorded the poet in all the French and German anthologies of Qiinese poems, which have appeared from time to time. He is included among the Portraits desC elebres Chinois in A miot sM emoires (1776-97), while Pavie sC oiU es Chinois (1839) has a nouvelle of his life. Excellent studies and translations have been made by two German scholars, Florenz and Bemhardi, in their monographs on the poet. In theE nglish language, there isM r. Edkins paper H)n Li Tai-po, which was read before the Peking Oriental Society in 1888 and was published in thatS ociety sJ ournal in 1890. Mr. Edkins was perhaps the first Englishman to pay special attention to our poet, thou his translations are trite and barren.
