Más información sobre el libro

100 More Poems from the Chinese is the follow up volume to 100 Poems from the Chinese and likewise spans more than 2500 years, from the Shijing to Mao Zedong. This book will serve to fill up some of the gaps in that work. There are more lesser-known poets and more post-Tang poetry. Most of the poets appear for the first time. Explanatory material such as the Introduction has been adapted from that work. Both volumes together provide a wide range of poets and genres over time. There are brief overviews of the various dynasties, as well of the individual poets. The original poems, in traditional Chinese characters, are included. In addition to the above, Earl Trotter has translated Tao Yuanming: The Compete Works, and Tao Yuanming: Selected Poetry & Prose. He has also edited a number of republications of Chinese and Japanese literature.
