The Poetics of Decadence by Fusheng Wu
The rich and complex nature of decadent poetry gives it remarkable resilience in the face of violent condemnation by traditional criticism and allows its successful negotiation with and integration into the canonical tradition. Decadent poetry is not a marginal trend as it has been commonly perceived, but rather a vital part of the Chinese poetic tradition.-

"Wu has made a major contribution to the fieldThe poetics of decadence is a neglected subject in the study of classical Chinese poetry. The author's erudition and thoroughness are admirable." — Shuen-fu Lin, The University of Michigan
"Wu's approach is bold and his discussion is insightful. All the Tang poets discussed are major figures. Wu has penetrating things to say about their styles, with ramifications for their works in general. This is a gem of a book. It will surely have far-reaching impact." — Cynthia L. Chennault, University of Florida
