A Further Collection of Chinese Lyrics : Rendered Into Verse by Alan Ayling From Translations of the Chinese by Duncan Mackintosh in Collaboration with Ch'eng Hsi and T'ung Ping-Cheng

This book, first published in 1969, builds on the authors’ first selection and contains a selection of Chinese lyrics (tz’u) mainly from Sung Dynasty poets who made this verse-form lastingly popular. Two of these poets, Su Shih and Hsin Ch’i Chi, add a fresh and robust note to the traditional theme of nostalgia and separation. As in the previous volume, the Chinese original, written with a scholar’s brush, faces the English translation.
