Review
"You never forget the moment you first encounter a book that turns out to be a treasure for life. Especially works that open up new worlds. I still remember buying Penguin's wonderful Late Tang Poetry at school..." -Michael Wood, The Independent [UK]
"The publication of Dr. Graham's Poems of the Late T'ang...is a welcome sign of the growing interest in Chinese poetry on the part of English-speaking readers and of the growing sophistication on the part of English-speaking readers and of the growing sophistication on the part of translators of Chinese poetry." -Journal of the American Oriental Society "Angus Graham...was the West's chief authority on ancient Chinese philosophy and grammar. He was the sinologue's sinologue in the sense that he understood the classical texts better than anyone else, but he was also a sensitive interpreter of poetry and philosophy for a general audience...His translations of poetry seem to have been written for pure pleasure, but include some of the most difficult as well as the most beautiful Chinese poems." -The Guardian [UK] "Angus Graham was widely recognized as the world's premier authority on classical philosophy and linguistics, as well as a gifted translator of philosophy and poetry and a prominent exponent of the ancient Chinese view of life to the Western world." -The Times [UK] A "pioneering introduction." -The Irish Times "Isn't A. C. Graham's Poems of the Late T'ang...a perfect book?" -The Times [UK]About the Author
Angus Charles Graham (1919-1991) was born in Penarth, Wales. He studied theology at Oxford University and served as an interpreter in Malaya and Thailand while in the Royal Air Force. In 1946 he enrolled in the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, where he remained throughout his career. An important Sinologist, Graham is credited with introducing into English several little- or poorly-known works of Chinese classical literature and philosophy, and is celebrated for his insightful analysis of these texts. Among his books are translations of Lieh-tzu and Chuang-tzu; a partial reconstruction of the anti-Confucian writings of Mo-tzu and a study of Mahoism, Later Mohist Logic, Ethics, and Science; a comparison of Eastern and Western religions,The Disputers of the Dao; and Yin-Yang and the Nature of Correlative Thinking.
