Plum Blossom on the Far Side of the Stream: The Renaissance of Jiang Kui’s Lyric Oeuvre with Facsimiles and a New Critical Edition of The Songs of the Whitestone Daoist

Synopsis:With this book, Yang Yuanzheng has produced what will long be regarded as a ground-breaking milestone in the voluminous scholarship on Jiang Kui (1155–1221). Based in part on his 2011 discovery of a major new source of Jiang’s work, Yang employs close textual reading and editorial interpretation of this text, augmented by meticulous examination of other material, to tease out an important and innovative explanation of why lyric songs enjoyed such a remarkable renaissance in the 18th century.
