Synopsis "The Songs of the South: An Ancient Chinese Anthology of Poems by qu Yuan and Other Poets (Classics)"
Masterworks of early Chinese poetryDating from the second century AD, this anthology is the second- oldest collection of Chinese poems in existence. The poems, originating from the state of Chu and rooted in Shamanism, are grouped under seventeen titles and contain all that we know of Chinese poetry's ancient beginnings. The earliest poems were composed in the fourth century BC, and almost half of them are traditionally ascribed to Qu Yuan. In his introduction to this edition, David Hawkes provides a fascinating discussion of the history of these poems and their context, styles, and themes.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
