A specialist in early medieval Chinese literature, intellectual history, and Daoism, Chan (Chinese, Hong Kong Baptist U.) explores the literary representation of the worldview, psyche, and attitude of selected writers who lived in political turmoil and how they reacted to the predicament confronting them. In the early medieval period--early third to late sixth centuries AD in the Western calendar--literary works display a complexity due to the unstable political conditions, he says, and he is concerned with authors' thoughts on how to deal with the "end." Among his topics are Wang Yi on integrity and loyalty, Ruan Ji on apocalypse, and Xie Lingyun on awakening. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
