This study aims to engage the textual realities of medieval literature by shedding light on the material lives of poems during the Tang, from their initial oral or written instantiation through their often lengthy and twisted paths of circulation. Tang poems exist today in stable written forms assumed to reflect their creators' original intent. Yet Tang poetic culture was based on hand-copied manuscripts and oral performance. We have almost no access to this poetry as it was experienced by contemporaries. This is no trivial matter, the author argues. If we do not understand how Tang people composed, experienced, and transmitted this poetry, we miss something fundamental about the roles of memory and copying in the circulation of poetry as well as readers' dynamic participation in the creation of texts. We learn something different about poems when we examine them, not as literary works transcending any particular physical form, but as objects with distinct physical attributes, visual and sonic. The attitudes of the Tang audience toward the stability of texts matter as well. Understanding Tang poetry requires acknowledging that Tang literary culture accepted the conscious revision of these works by authors, readers, and transmitters.

读后感

The first chapter of Nugent’s book convincingly reverses a conviction that has guided modern scholarship of Tang poetry in China since it started out in the early 20th century. This conviction holds that a version of a Tang poem that dated from an earlier ...

原来只给了三星，现在改成四星。 我是在一堂历史课上读到这本书。读完之后，发现这不是一本历史学著作，作为唐诗研究，在史料上也显单薄，虽然作者在运用西方有关记忆、口头文学、文本批评的理论很有分寸感。 不过确实，作者也说了，他不研究唐诗内容本身，他讲的事唐诗的物质...

用户评价

将唐诗与欧洲中世纪文学比较，很厉害。

读完，get到一个很牛逼的词汇，叫Textual fluidity文本流动性????

我个人的感觉是这本写得特别清楚，几个点虽然小（比如拿韦庄《秦妇吟》的几个手稿来比较）但是写得很透，讲记忆方法的有些地方和Susan Cherniack讲宋代书籍流通和印刷术对于人学习方式的改变有联系和推进。方法上和中世纪的codicology比较并没有生硬，推敲敦煌写经小僧的过程也很精彩。我喜欢那个門字写一半放下笔去吃饭的阴奴儿小朋友，太可爱了。

Author used methodology used in studying European medieval manuscripts. Transmitters lies in the middle of the authors and readers. From the studying of manuscripts, readers can access to the content of poems in a dynamic way as well which makes the text essentially protean in such practice. The author thus reveals the unstable nature of the poems
