*
This is not really a sequel to One Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems [1916], Waley's first book.
This, his second work, which stands by itself, includes such famous poets as Ch'u Yan, Wang Wei, Li Po, Po Ch-i and others.
Arthur Waley, a life-long Londoner, was one of the leading Chinese scholars of the 20th century.
He was close to the Bloomsbury group, lectured at the School of Oriental and African Studies, and was known for his numerous translations of such works as the Tale of Genji, the Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, and Monkey (Journey to the West).
