Li Bo (701-762), the poet who and “could make the spirits weep and the ghosts shed tears, and ” has long inspired controversy among readers and critics. Known even during his lifetime as the and “Banished Immortal, and ” he continues to spark imaginations, challenge passionately held convictions about poetic values, and maintain, alongside Du Fu, his position as and “one of China’s two greatest poets. and ” In this lucidly and gracefully written volume, Paula Varsano presents the first full-length study of Li Bo in English in half a century and the first extended look at the poet’s critical reception. Persuaded that the essence of his poetry lay well beyond the reach of the usual modes of study and description, readers from the ninth to the twentieth century developed a particularly dynamic critical language. Varsano shows how this language, evolving out of the critical concepts of and “emptiness and ” and and “substance, and ” answered the need to conceptualize shifting parameters of poetic creativity over hundreds of years. At the same time, she offers an account of Li Bo’s entry into the canon and asks how this in turn transformed both the reception of his work and the transmission of his poetic persona. This story of Li Bo’s critical reception and canonization is propelled by the malleable and elusive ideal of the and “ancient. and ” And so, Varsano devotes the second part of her study to the poems themselves, investigating those poetic manifestations of ancientness that translated into the enduring figure of the Banished Immortal. Through close readings of his poems, she demonstrates how play and performance paradoxically augment the ancient values of expressive immediacy and genuineness.
