Summary: |
"Su Shih (1037-1101) is regarded as one of the greatest Chinese literary and intellectual figures....
Grant has uncovered among Su Shih's voluminous writings an extraordinarily wide range of
Buddhist-related poems, hymns, essays, and other writings that attest to Buddhism's importance in the
literary culture of this period... a vivid portrait of Su's struggle to resolve creatively the psychological, intellectual,
and spiritual tensions in his life, including the classic tension between a world-centered Confucianism and
Buddhism's promise of personal liberation....original and comprehensive work...
in this important period of Chinese medieval history." CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
