This review is from: The Columbia History of Chinese Literature (Hardcover)
Apart from the Indiana Companion, there is no more wide-ranging or authoritative history of Chinese literature available than this titanic achievement. The survey is comprehensive, the information (as far as I can tell) accurate, and the judgements fair-minded and balanced throughout. Time and time again, I was able to find in the admirably thorough index obscure writers who were not otherwise easily accessible, and many of whom don't feature even in the two volumes of the Indiana Companion itself. Particularly useful features are the appendices which give the Chinese names of (almost) all the names and titles mentioned in the text. No one who's genuinely interested in Chinese literature, either ancient or modern, can afford to be without this exemplary work of scholarship.
