This book has been composed in IBM Selectric Journal Roman Printed in the United States of America by Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful to the Committee on East Asian Studies and the Chinese-Japanese Language and Area Center, both of Stanford University, for research grants that made possible the writing of this book. During the initial stage of my work I was assisted by Mrs. Rosa Kuei-Iing Yang (nee Wang), who performed such tedious but necessary tasks as compiling lists of meters used by each poet and of grammatical particles. I remain, however, solely responsible for all opinions expressed. I am indebted to Professor Irving Yucheng Lo of Indiana University for having read the typescript and suggesting improve ments, and to my student Mr. Kuo-ch'ing Tu for helping me read works in Japanese. Finally, I wish to thank Professor Yen Yuan-shu, editor of the Tamkang Review, for permission to reprint material dealing with the lyrics of Liu Yung, which first appeared in that journal (Vol. 1, No. 2, Taipei, 1970) as an article and now forms part of Chapter 2; and also Professor Cyril Birch, editor of the volume Studies in Chinese Literary Genres (Berkeley, University of California Press, 1973) for permission to reprint several transla tions and commentaries.
