The Vitality of the Lyric Voice: Shih Poetry from the Late Han to the t'Ang

This volume presents twelve essays on the evolution of shih poetry from the second to the tenth century, the period that began with the sudden flowering of shih poetry in live-character meter and culminated in the T'ang, the golden age of classical Chinese poetry.
