The Literary Works of Ou-yang Hsui (1007-72) Paperback / softback
by Ronald C. Egan
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Chinese History, Literature and Institutions series
Paperback / softback
Description
The book is a literary study of one of the greatest of Chinese writers, Ou-yang Hsiu.
He was a major writer in each of several genres: prose, poetry, rhapsodies, and tz'u 'songs'.
The striking diversity of his work presents an opportunity to investigate how one man's literary talent is manifested in different genres.
Ou-yang Hsiu's achievements in each genre are examined, and set in the context of his age.
Topics include the broad shift between T'ang and Sung dynasty prose styles that Ou-yang Hsiu helped to effect, his contributions to the new poetic values of the Northern Sung, and his place in the evolution of Sung dynasty songs (together with a reconsideration of a group of supposedly spurious songs).
An appendix provides additional translations of Ou-yang Hsiu's prose.
