Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Facing a transformed socio-political landscape after the An Lushan Rebellion (756763), Tang dynasty elites questioned inherited understandings of tradition and anxiously reflected on their relations to both recent and ancient pasts. Du Fu (712770), widely considered China's greatest poet, presciently addressed these concerns in his late work on memory and the means by which the past survives. In Elegies for Empire, Gregory Patterson maps out a poetics of memory in Du Fu's poems from his prolific period of residence in Kuizhou, a remote border town in the Yangzi River Three Gorges. Patterson argues that, for Du Fu, memory held the promise of rebuilding frameworks of belonging under conditions of displacement and dynastic crisis. Remembering also led the poet to think through the material underpinnings on which cultural transmission depends; therefore, these late poems are distinguished by a highly creative, often melancholy engagement with the forms and media that preserve memory, such as monuments, paintings, and poetry.
