Sarvis, Will2014-03-142014-03-141990etd-04182009-041403http://hdl.handle.net/10919/42153T’ao Yüan-ming (365-427 A.D.) remains China's greatest medieval poet. While no adequate biographical sources exist, the poet’s own work presents the most intimate picture of T’ao Yüan-ming himself, in addition to reflecting various aspects of his historical and cultural era. This essay explores T’ao Yüan-ming’s character as reflected in his verse. When poised against a broader historical and cultural background, T’ao Yüan-ming’s poetry goes furthest in revealing the poet as an individual as well as a product of his times.vi, 92 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1990.S278Poets, Chinese -- BiographyT'ao Yüan-ming as reflected in his poetryThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-04182009-041403/
