Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1975. 197 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). "This book is the first comprehensive treatment in a Western language of traditional Chinese theories of literature, and the first in any language to analyze these theories in a new conceptual framework. James J.Y. Liu focuses on Chinese theories about the nature and functions of literature. The design of his work is primarily analytical and hermeneutical, although historical as well, and it opens a new area of study to Western literary scholars. His work should be of interest not only to students of Eastern literature, but to comparativists and general literary theorists as well." Slight waviness to edges of textblock, minor soiling on bottom of text block. Dust jacket has very light edgewear/wrinkling, two tiny tears and chips, light rubbing, slight fading to spine colour.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good-.
