Hardback. Condition: New. In Exile and Invention in the Prose Writings of Su Shi, Ronald Egan pays special attention to a neglected aspect of Su Shi's literary work, those prose forms that had traditionally been considered less prestigious: the informal letter; the short colophon on topics such as poetry, the visual arts, and day trips; and other miscellaneous notes. Su Shi's exploration of these "lesser" prose genres was tied to his periods of political exile-he turned to these forms during his first exile as alternatives to the political poetry and more traditional prose for which he was imprisoned. Later, when returned to high office, he continued to write in this vein, and it came to play a major role in his literary expression during the exiles of the last decade of his life. As Egan shows, Su Shi's increasing reliance upon these non-traditional prose forms-even as he kept writing classical poetry-was linked to his political persecution, which pushed his literary creativity in new directions. It also greatly influenced Chinese literary history, inspiring writers of later centuries to follow his lead.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The book is a literary study of one of the greatest of Chinese writers, Ou-yang Hsiu. He was a major writer in each of several genres: prose, poetry, rhapsodies, and tz'u 'songs'. The striking diversity of his work presents an opportunity to investigate how one man's literary talent is manifested in different genres. Ou-yang Hsiu's achievements in each genre are examined, and set in the context of his age. Topics include the broad shift between T'ang and Sung dynasty prose styles that Ou-yang Hsiu helped to effect, his contributions to the new poetic values of the Northern Sung, and his place in the evolution of Sung dynasty songs (together with a reconsideration of a group of supposedly spurious songs). An appendix provides additional translations of Ou-yang Hsiu's prose.…
