Collected Poems of Li He (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Li He is the badboy poet of the late Tang Dynasty. A Song dynasty critic once described Li He's poetry as written in the "e;language of a demonic immortal"e; and filled with hallucinatory evocations of goddesses, beautiful courtesans, Buddhist visions, drunken nights, and corruption. As the scholar Anne M. Birrell, writes, "e;Of all the Tang poets, even of all Chinese poets, he best speaks for our disconcerting times."e; Modern critics have compared him to Rimbaud, Baudelaire, and Keats. In the crystalline translations by the noted scholar J. D. Frodsham, the 1983 edition of this book has been out of print for decades.

Autorenporträt

Li He (790–816) was a poet of the late Tang dynasty. “Strange by any standards,” according to A. C. Graham, “he offended the conventionality of later taste by his individuality and...by his morbidity and violence.”   J. D. Frodsham is an emeritus professor of English and comparative literature at Murdoch University, Australia. His many books include The Murmuring Stream: The Life and Works of Hsieh Ling-Yuan, An Anthology of Chinese Verse, and The First Chinese Embassy to the West. Paul Rouzer is Professor of Chinese Literature at the University of Minnesota. He is most recently the author of On Cold Mountain: A Buddhist Reading of the Hanshan Poems (2015).
