Description: The arrangement of A Treasury of Asian Literature is not by geography or chronology, but rather by literary types. It offers some of the best samples of the peculiar literary genius of five national groups with a view to displaying the infinite variety of Asian literature, not its development within national bounds. The entire "modern" era for all five countries is excluded. - Introduction.
