Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-16 00:00:00 Tyler Riso A readable, if somewhat dated, survey of Chinese literature up until roughly the mid 19th century. Of course, that ignores a whole host of contemporary writers, but their stuff is more readily in translation than what Giles is dealing with.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-05-02 00:00:00 August Cwik A knockout punch for the needful things department. I will forever cherish how much this biographer put into his work, sorry folks, but for a canuck, Brown is like a Cather scholar.
