"This is the first anthology of Chinese literature to draw together the finest of existing translations. Where these have been found inadequate, new translations have been commissioned. Thus, roughtly half the material is published for the first time in this volume. The selections span a two-thousand year perod, from the Chou Dynasty (1122-221 B.C.) to the Yuan Dynasty (1280-1367 A.D.). From the ancient Songs to the dramas of the fourteenth century, all major genres are represented." -- from the back cover. Originally published in 1965.
