Chinese Poetry In English Verse is a book written by Herbert Allen Giles, first published in 1898. The book is a collection of English translations of Chinese poetry from various dynasties, including the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties. The translations are in verse form, and Giles sought to capture the beauty and essence of the original Chinese poems in his translations.The book includes a wide range of Chinese poetry, including love poems, nature poems, and philosophical poems. Some of the most famous Chinese poets, such as Li Bai and Du Fu, are represented in the book, as well as lesser-known poets. Giles provides historical and cultural context for each poem, as well as notes on the translation process.Chinese Poetry In English Verse was one of the first books to introduce Chinese poetry to a Western audience. It was praised for its accuracy and poetic quality, and helped to popularize Chinese literature in the West. The book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in Chinese poetry or literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
