Summary

"Wherever there is poetical action, a religious aspiration, a heroic thought, a union of the Nature within a man and the Nature without, there is Zen, " declares the author of this absorbing work of literary criticism. Its broad scope comprises the literature of Zen in Chinese and Japanese, the Chinese and Japanese classics, and the whole extent of English literature, with numerous quotations from German, French, Italian, and Spanish works (Don Quixote, an exemplar of Zen philosophy, has a chapter all to himself!). The works of Shakespeare, Dickens, and Wordsworth receive particular attention in this volume. Written in the spirit of the Confucian concept of true teaching -- imparting new knowledge by revitalizing old wisdom -- this enlightening book offers a fresh look at English literature from the standpoint of Zen.
