The earliest preserved folk songs of the peasantry; the major works of the "Golden Age" of Chinese philosophy; the "prose-songs" and the later skillful poems of the T'ang dynasty; the short stories and plays; the novels; and

the poems and stories of men who have made modern China - all these are represented in this anthology, in complete works or in excerpts.
