Wang Wei is generally listed as the third greatest poet of the Tang dynasty, after Li Bai and Du Fu. This will be the first complete translation into English of all of his poems, and also the first substantial translation of a selection of his prose writings. For the first time Western readers interested in his work will get the most comprehensive sense of his range as a poet as well as a prose writer.
