AUTHOR

David Hinton, Tu Fu

SUMMARY

Tu Fu radically altered poetry as he found it in the High T "ang period. In addition to making formal innovations in language and structure, he extended the range of acceptable subject matter to include all aspects of public and private experience, thus becoming in the words of translator David Hinton, Sthe first complete poetic sensibility in Chinese literature. This edition of The Selected Poems of Tu Fu is the only comprehensive selection of the poet's work currently available in English. While retaining a scholar's devotion to the text, Hinton has attempted Sto recreate Tu Fu's poems as new systems of uncertainty." By reflecting all the ambiguity and density of the originals, he has created compelling English poems that significantly alter our conception of Chinese poetry. Included with the poems are the translator "s introduction and translation principles. as well as a biography of Tu Fu; together these provide a fascinating portrait of a uniquely sensitive spirit during one of the most tumultuous periods in Chinese history.David Hinton is the author of 'The Selected Poems of Tu Fu', published 1989 under ISBN 9780811211000 and ISBN 0811211002.
