Chinese Love Poems, From Most Ancient to Modern Times

Mount Vernon: The Peter Pauper Press, 1942. McPharlin, Paul. Hardcover. Near Fine / No Jacket. Item #008359

Teal and blush floral paper boards. 77 pp. Set in the Weiss types and printed on a specially-made Hamilton paper. Slight suning to spine. Custom teal paper slipcase is chipped to corners, a few short tears to top edges at head, light foxing and staining to title label. The poems in this collection date from 800 B.C. to modern times, but for variety's sake they have not been arranged in chronological order. Likewise they have not been grouped in any special arrangement by subject, but allowed to fall like seeds in a garden. The name of the translator has been given at the end of each poem; and a list of the poets, with their dates when known, is given at the end of the book.
