Four masters of the shi form of Chinese poetry who are generally considered to be giants in the entire history of Chinese literature are represented in this book: three from the eighth century and one from the ninth. A few works by other well-known poets are also included. The author provides a general background sketch instruction to the student a description of the phonological system and the spelling used as well as an outline of the grammar of T'ang shi insofar as it is known.
