About the Book

In this first serious study of Hanshan ("Cold Mountain"), Paul Rouzer discusses some seventy poems of the iconic Chinese poet who lived sometime during the Tang dynasty (618–907). Hanshan's poems gained a large readership in English-speaking countries following the publication of Jack Kerouac's novel The Dharma Bums (1958) and Gary Snyder's translations (which began to appear that same year), and they have been translated into English more than any other body of Chinese verse. Rouzer investigates how Buddhism defined the way that believers may have read Hanshan in premodern times. He proposes a Buddhist poetics as a counter-model to the Confucian assumptions of Chinese literary thought and examines how texts by Kerouac, Snyder, and Jane Hirshfield respond to the East Asian Buddhist tradition.

Review :
"It's a fascinating book that's a pleasure to read for both specialist and general readers." - Carla Nappi (New Books Network) "Readers and writers of English and American literature can find some kind of enlightenment in On Cold Mountain's presentation of the processes of poetic transmission and Buddhist poetics in its earlier contexts." - Lucas Klein (Tang Studies) "Paul Rouzer's new monograph is a welcome contribution to the field, a shaft of light illuminating the brillance of one jewel in a vast, neglected mine. . . . It is a pioneering work, an essential guide for anyone who would wish to make the journey across the strange landscape of Hanshan." - Thomas J. Mazanec (Journal of the American Oriental Society (JAOS)) "In this first major study of Hanshan, Paul Rouzer adds new dimensions to our understanding of the poet and proposes inventive methodological directions in reading Hanshan from a Buddhist perspective and by formulating a study that is at once scholarly and popularly accessible." - Christopher Byrne (Journal of Chinese Religions)
