Great Books of China

From Ancient Times to the Present

Frances Wood

In a selection and commentary on 66 great literary works, Frances Wood, the former head of the Chinese collections at the British Library, offers an introduction to the complexity and depth of Chinese culture. After an historical introduction, the book is arranged chronologically and covers all genres, describing the authors (where known) and the significance of works ranging from The Book of Songs, compiled over 2,500 years ago, to late 20th-century novels.
