An Anthology of Poetry by Buddhist Nuns of Late Imperial China

Beschreibung

Opening up new religious and poetic worlds for readers, this anthology presents the poems of Buddhist nuns from China's late imperial period (1368-1911), a time marked by great political upheavals and social changes. Appreciation of the poems is enhanced by individual biographical accounts for each of the sixty-five nun-poets and an Introduction to the historical, religious, and literary context of these women's writing, including a concise discussion of their place in Chinese Buddhism and Chinese Buddhist poetry.
