Geschichte der chinesischen Literatur

The most extensive account of Chinese literary history to date - spanning some 3,000 years - the Geschichte der chinesischen Literatur presents the historical development of each literary genre from the beginnings to the present day. Renowned scholars were involved in portraying the longest literary tradition still alive. Seven volumes focus on individual genres. The edition is rounded off by a bibliography on Chinese literature in German, a biographical handbook of Chinese writers and an index volume.
