	1	Bryant, Daniel. LYRIC POETS OF THE SOUTHERN T'ANG: FENG YEN-SSU, 903-960, AND LI YU, 937-978. University of British Columbia Press, Vancouver, (1982). 151 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. "This book is the first in Western literature to focus on the poetry of Li Yu and Feng Yen-ssu. It contains nearly one hundred translations of Chinese poems written during the brief and turb ulent Southern T'ang Dynasty (907-960 A.D.). Bryant describes and evaluates the major contribution of Li Yu and Feng Yen-ssu to the evolution of the poetry form known as t'zu - a form which reflects the highly developed cultural milieu of the p e r i o d...The tz'u and its many and varied origins are considered at length. Bryant discusses the improvisational quality which makes these poems different from the traditional shih style of the time. He also ephasizes the 'aural' quality of t he p oe ms w hich were originally composed to be sung to music. For this reason he includes a phonetic translation of each poem as it would have been pronounced at the time of its writing."
