CHI 195-01 - Introductory Special Topic: Love and Impermanence, Feast and Reclusion: Major Themes in Classical Chinese Lyrical Tradition

Cross-listed as: EAS 195-01 and GLS 195-01. We will read in translation and study the formulation of a Chinese lyrical tradition through reading a selection of famous Chinese poems from the antiquity to medieval China. As we appreciate the individual poems by examining the metric, structural and stylistic features unique to classical Chinese poetry, the historical and cultural contexts in which these poems were produced and consumed will also be considered.

Prerequisite: None.
Note: Plus-2 option available.
