Ovid in China : reception, translation, and comparison / edited by Thomas J. Sienkewicz, Jinyu Liu.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

"Ovid in China offers a fresh look at an ancient Roman author in a Chinese context and often from a Chinese perspective. The seventeen essays in this volume, by a group of international scholars, examine Ovid's interaction with China in a broad historical context, including the arrival of Christian missionaries in 1294, the depiction of Ovidian scenes on 18th-century Chinese porcelain, the growing Chinese interest in Ovid in the early 20th century, a 21st-century collaborative project to translate Ovid's poetry into Chinese with commentary, and comparative studies on such themes as conceptualization of time, consolation, laughter, filicide, and revenge. Contributors are: Yumiao Bao, Pei Yun Chia, Caleb M. X. Dance, Heng Du, Steven Green, Sher-shiueh Li, Chun Liu, Jinyu Liu, William Motley, Fritz-Heiner Mutschler, Chenye Shi, Thomas J. Sienkewicz, Chen Wang, Xinyao Xiao, Ying Xiong, Kang Zhai"-- Provided by publisher
