Regarded as one of the most refined lyricists and sonnet writers in early modern Chinese literature, Feng Zhi’s mystical poetry manifests a gradual shift from Romanticism to Modernism and addresses some of the most relevant themes that interested Chinese intellectuals at the turn of the twentieth century: individualism, love, poetic transcendence, loneliness and interpersonal relationships. The Sonnets encapsulate the mature thought and poetry of Feng Zhi and portray a poetic journey of the individual in modern China.

The Sonnets encapsulate the mature thought and poetry of Feng Zhi and portray a poetic journey of the individual in modern China.

The author’s mastery of several languages, and his diligence in tracking down sources, has enabled this detailed account of the intertextualities, especially with Novalis and Rilke, present in the texts of this major modern Chinese poet. Including translations of Feng Zhi’s Sonnets and illustrated with some rarely seen photographs, Giuffrè’s study is an important contribution to the existing body of work on twentieth-century Chinese lyricism.
