Excursions in Chinese Culture: Festschrift in Honour of Dr. William R. Schultz

Edited by Marie Chan, Chia-lin Pao Tao, and Jing-shen Tao

This eclectic collection includes an introduction to the Ming scholar Yang Shen and his wife and translations of some of their poems; an exploration of a middle ground between the literalist and non-literalists approaches to Chinese-English verse translation; a close critical analysis of the relationship between the tonal patterns of a Tang-regulated quatrain and poetic meaning; and a inquiry into the poetic use of function words in Tang poetry.
