When his society collapsed into civil war in 755, however, he began to question contemporary assumptions about the role that tradition should play in making sense of experience and defining human flourishing. In this book, Lucas Bender argues that Du Fu's reconsideration of the nature and importance of tradition has played a pivotal role in the transformation of Chinese poetic understanding over the last millennium. In reimagining his relationship to tradition, Du Fu anticipated important philosophical transitions from the late-medieval into the early-modern period and laid the template for a new and perduring paradigm of poetry's relationship to ethics. He also looked forward to the transformations his own poetry would undergo as it was elevated to the pinnacle of the Chinese poetic pantheon"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Du, Fu, $d 712-770 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Du, Fu, $d 712-770. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00004073 650 0 $a Manners and customs in literature. 650 0 $a Ethics in literature. 650 0 $a Chinese poetry $y Tang dynasty, 618-907 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z China $x History $y To 1500. 650 7 $a Chinese poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857672 650 7 $a Ethics in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915860 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Manners and customs in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007829 650 7 $a Tang Dynasty (China) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01696781 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Harvard-Yenching Institute monograph series ; $v 126. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024116.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=204519D2BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
