Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 1996.

This dissertation addresses several large concerns in Chinese poetics--the configurations of poetic canons; the influence of normative criticism on canon-formation and concepts of literary history and change; the problem of individual expression and creativity within a supposedly highly orthodox system of poetics--mainly through the study of the aesthetic reception of a selectively limited set of Chinese poets drawn from within the temporal and cultural boundaries of a single century in Chinese literary history, viz., the Late Tang.

520 $a This dissertation addresses several large concerns in Chinese poetics--the configurations of poetic canons; the influence of normative criticism on canon-formation and concepts of literary history and change; the problem of individual expression and creativity within a supposedly highly orthodox system of poetics--mainly through the study of the aesthetic reception of a selectively limited set of Chinese poets drawn from within the temporal and cultural boundaries of a single century in Chinese literary history, viz., the Late Tang.
520 $a "Late Tang" is the traditional designation for a period-style in medieval Chinese poetry. The works of the Late Tang poets readily lend themselves to an investigation of the topics mentioned above because they have been so prominently treated by "orthodox" critics as negative exemplars of poetic decadence and decline--and because they have also been regarded as "major" figures in Chinese verse, as evidenced by their presence in influential orthodox collections alongside more universally lauded and less controversial figures.
520 $a My thesis explores the checkered reception of Late Tang verse via several approaches. The impact of Confucian conceptions of political and literary history on the reading of these poets is considered in Chapter One, "The Tones of a Fallen Kingdom." The nature of canonical collections and classic anthologies are explored in Chapter Two, "Capturing the Unicorn." Chapter Three, "There is No Poetry After the Tang," reviews the treatment of Tang poetry in works of pure criticism from the post-Tang era; it discusses how the mirror images of High Tang orthodoxy and Late Tang decadence came into existence as artificial constructs of the later empire. A detailed investigation of the poetic programs of the major "Mid-" Tang writers constitutes Chapter Four; my analysis stresses their continuities with the verse of their supposedly more orthodox High Tang predecessors. The final chapter, "A Dallier's Fame," closely examines the ambiguous poetic legacies of Li Shangyin and Du Mu, arguing how these-two Late Tang poets exemplify the complexly marginal and "doubled" status typical of their contemporaries, and the conflation of "moral" with formal considerations in the reception of their work.
