About this title

Review:

In addition to its intrinsic value for the study and appreciation of Chinese thought and literature, Owen's book, which is sure to have a significant impact on a wide audience outside Sinological circles, should do much to raise awareness of creative and critical works of Chinese literature among general students of literature and nonspecialists in Chinese studies.--Richard John Lynn "China Review International " A monumental work of scholarship that will prove invaluable for both research and teaching...Owen has selected texts that are central to the Chinese tradition and provided lucid and insightful commentaries.--Pauline Yu, University of California, Los Angeles
