A Historical Taxonomy of Talking Birds in Chinese Literature

A Historical Taxonomy of Talking Birds in Chinese Literature

Inhalt

Parrots and mynahs have played a unique role in Chinese literature for two millennia. In this wide-ranging thematic study, Wilt L. Idema traces the development of the parrot and the mynah as characters in many forms of poetry and prose of Chinese elite literature, as well as in the long narrative ballads of traditional popular literature.
