"Most of the essays in this volume were originally presented at the "Poetry and Place" conference held at Princeton University on October 26-27, 2012. The conference was jointly sponsored by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies and Princeton University Council of the Humanities"Acknowledgments. / Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-217) and index. / From ancient times, China's remote and exotic South-a shifting and expanding region beyond the Yangtze River-has been an enduring theme in Chinese literature. For poets and scholar-officials in medieval China, the South was a barbaric frontier region of alienation and disease. But it was also a place of richness and fascination, and for some a site of cultural triumph over exile. The eight essays in this collection explore how tensions between pride in southern culture and anxiety over the alien qualities of the southern frontier were behind many of the distinctive features of medieval Chinese.
