"This is the first full-length study of the poetry of Wen Tingyun (ca. 812 - ca. 860), a major writer of the Late Tang. Though modern Chinese literary history has generally perceived Wen as an innovator of the song (ci), this study argues that he only gains full stature when his lyric poetry (shi) is examined. In such an examination, he emerges as the near equal of his great contemporaries Li Shangyin and Du Mu and as a powerful representative of the spirit of his age."
