Excursions in Chinese Culture: Festschrift in Honour of William R. Schultz

By Jing-Shen Tao

The ten articles in this volume include an introduction to the Ming scholar Yang Shen and his wife and translations of some of their poems; explorations of a middle ground between the literalist and non-literalists approaches in Chinese-English verse translation, a close critical analysis of the relationship between the tonal patterns of a Tang-regulated quatrain and poetic meaning, and the poetic use of function words in Tang poetry.
