| Notes | Publisher description for Three Chinese poets : translations of poems by Wang Wei, Li Bai, and Du Fu / [translated by] Vikram Seth. The three T'ang dynasty poets translated here are among the greatest literary figures of China, or indeed the world.Responding differently to their common times, Wang Wei, Li Bai, and Du Fu crystallize the immense variety of China and the Chinese poetic tradition and, across a distance of twelve hundred years, move the reader as it is rare for even poetry to do. |
