Professor Antje Richter and Professor Emeritus Paul W. Kroll have both published new books recently.

Professor Kroll’s The Finest Souls of Our Rivers and Alps: A High Tang Poetry Anthology is published in De Gruyter’s Library of Chinese Humanities series. It is the first translation into any language of the only extant anthology compiled contemporaneously that was solely devoted to poetry composed during the fabled “High Tang” period. It contains 230 poems by twenty-four different poets and was completed around 753, with poems in various lengths, forms, and styles. Like all books in the series it includes original Chinese texts on facing pages to the translations, along with an introduction and extensive notes. You can find information on the book and download the eBook here.

Professor Richter’s Health and the Art of Living: Illness Narratives in Early Medieval Chinese Literature is published by the Harvard University Asia Center, in the Harvard-Yenching Institute Monograph Series. The book explores views on health and illness expressed in in a range of early medieval Chinese literary sources: essays, prefaces, correspondence, religious scriptures, and poetry. It delves into subjects such as how to deal with overwork and excessive mental exertion, how to read passages on health and illness in autobiographical narratives, and the rise of the poetical subgenre “written while lying sick.” You may order from the publisher here.
