Description: Confucian Prophet by David K. Schneider "This is the best study of a single Chinese poet I have seen in decades. And the best study of Du Fu known to me. David Schneider goes beyond previous works in revealing what might be called the source of Du Fus gravitas. What is especially refreshing is that the author, while making use of well-selected modern authorities to cast light on Du Fus poetry, is equally careful never to embrace their "theories" fully, with the ancillary danger of anachronism which taints so much contemporary "humanities" scholarship. The combination of empathy and critical thinking here is exemplary. The author writes eloquently and clearly, and is a very fine translator indeed, and gives us some of the very finest translations of Du Fu we now possess." - Jonathan Chaves, George Washington University FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "This is the best study of a single Chinese poet I have seen in decades.
