2.0 out of 5 stars
This was terrible,
By nurdburd13 (Southern USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writing and Authority in Early China (SUNY Series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture) (Paperback)
I had Classical Thought in East Asia as an undergrad. This book is truly the most awful textbook I've ever had to read. And we had to read the whole thing. The one other review for this calls it nearly unreadable. I could not agree more. I barely learned a thing because it is so intense. I was not able to concentrate on it because it just went on and on about every single detail. I'm not a poor reader. I'm not a poor student. I'm not unable to understand dense scholarly writings and books. This book was just awful. On the upside it's incredibly thorough (obviously) and well researched. If this is your area or specialty, go for it. Otherwise, walk away.

Solid (in Every Sense) Work,
By Tse-t'ien (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writing and Authority in Early China (S U N Y Series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture) (Hardcover)
This is a very well-researched, scholarly work. It is also incredibly dense to the point of being unreadable. If you're a graduate student in Chinese Lit or Lang (or going to be one), it's probably worth the investment. If you're not, this isn't the book for you.
