 PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
What are the enduring themes and tensions of Chinese literature? In this lecture, Professor Van Zoeren uses 2 of China's most revered and venerable poems (separated in time by 1,000 years) as windows into something quite characteristically Chinese: the tension between private desire and social responsibility, between politics and nature, between public role and private anguish. He demonstrates how these tensions give Chinese literature much of its energy and poignancy, and explores the unique power of Chinese ideograms. FIND MORE TITLES:
