Description: INSCRIBED LANDSCAPES:TRAVEL WRITING FROM IMPERIAL CHINAtranslated with annotations and an introduction by Richard E. Strassberg Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1994, first edition/first printing, 580 pages, illustrated with paintings, portraits, maps, and drawings. Very good trade paperback. Book is clean and unmarked. Minor rubbing and edge wear. Slight bump to corner of a section of text. Binding is square and sound with no reading creases to spine. Alongside the scores of travel books about china written by foreign visitors, Chinese travelers' impressions of their own country rarely appear in translation. This anthology is the only comprehensive collection in English of Chinese travel writing from the first century A.D. through the nineteenth. These first-person narratives provide rich material for understanding the attitudes of Chinese literati toward place, nature, politics, and the self. Richard E. Strassberg is Professor of Chinese at the University of California, Los Angeles.
