Arthur Waley here presents an engrossing account of the works and life of Yuan Mei (1716-1797), the best-known poet of his time. Gaiety is the keynote of his works and the poet was a friend of the Manchu official with whom Commodore Anson had dramatic dealings at Canton in 1743. Yuan Mei gives an account (not previously translated) of Anson's interview with the Manchu authorities. The book contains many translations of Yuan Mei's verse and prose. 410 0$aChina, history, philosophy, economics ;$v38. 606 $aCivilization, Modern$y18th century 606 $aPoets, Chinese$y18th century$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivilization, Modern 615 0$aPoets, Chinese 676 $a895.1148 700 $aWaley$b Arthur.$0203962 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462458503321 996 $aYuan Mei$91195402 997 $aUNINA
