Hanshan s poems gained a large readership in English-speaking countries following the publication of Jack Kerouac s novel The Dharma Bums (1958) and Gary Snyder s translations (which began to appear that same year), and they have been translated into English more than any other body of Chinese verse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRouzer investigates how Buddhism defined the way that believers may have read Hanshan in premodern times. He proposes a Buddhist poetics as a counter-model to the Confucian assumptions of Chinese literary thought and examines how texts by Kerouac, Snyder, and Jane Hirshfield respond to the East Asian Buddhist tradition.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120592306416,"sku":"9780295806136","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780295806136_p0.jpg?v=1763682945","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780295806136","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
