Opis

How did poets from the “Rivers and Lakes,” a realm defined by its remoteness from the central government, navigate and transform the field of classical poetry, a “high” genre of the scholar-officials class? What did it mean for them to “make a living” out of poetry? Zhang Hongsheng answers those questions in this comprehensive study of the Rivers and Lakes Poetry Movement (Jianghu shipai).
