Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Written by Ouyang Xiu (1007-1072), an intellectual giant of the Song dynasty, 'Historical Records of the Five Dynasties' offers a compelling interpretation of the Five Dynasties period (907-979). In overhauling the existing official history, Ouyang Xiu made several notable decisions. He recast the entire narrative in the popular 'ancient' style to make for a rare fluency. He adopted rigorous moral categories to evaluate historical figures, reflecting the new regimen of his day. He also annotated portions of the text to establish a methodology for future writers. The 'Historical Records' thereby became the official version-the last of China's dynastic histories to be written by an individual in a private capacity. In addition to its provocative commentary and lucid presentation, 'Historical Records' is an eloquent statement on the art and craft of historical writing in the eleventh century.
