ISBN: 9789004225220 / Angielski / Twarda / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In addition to drawing a picture of important aspects of Liang court culture such as education, literary composition, personal relations, and ideological and religious trends, this study also redresses a long-standing bias against court poetry. It will...
