	Warring States Sinology \| Arthur Waley
		Waley was the great transmitter of the high literary cultures of China and Japan to an English-reading general public; the ambassador from East to West in the first half of the 20th century.
		Waley moved in them, but he cut more of a figure in the Bloomsbury group, where the famous abruptness of his high, reedy speech, and his shattering unhelpfulness with merely social dialogue, were a more formidable weapon.
		Waley was 60 in that year, and this is an old man's book, though also benefiting from an old hand's mastery (we learn something about eunuch politics in the course of reading the poems).

		By far the most satisfying study of Waley’s immense importance as an intermediary between Anglo-American modernism and Japan is John de Gruchy’s Orienting Arthur Waley: Japonism, Orientalism, and the Creation of Japanese Literature in English (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 2003).

	The Opium War through Chinese Eyes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In this 1958 book, Arthur Waley broke new ground in English-language studies of the Opium War by using Chinese sources to paint a picture of the conflict "through Chinese eyes." Waley's is not a typical history book.
		Instead, Waley brought his formidable skills in the classical Chinese language to play by interweaving lengthy segments of direct translation from Chinese diaries with concise explanatory passages.
		He was further frustrated by Waley's failure to ask the big question of how an approach to the foreign threat different from Commissioner Lin's might have allowed China to "have sooner embarked upon the path of modernization and industrialization" (p.

		Arthur Waley's "The Way And Its Power: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching And Its Place In Chinese Thought," as the title states, is a translation and commentary on the Tao Te Ching in the context of Chinese philosophy and thought.
		Waley, who was one of the great Sinologists of the twentieth century, is perhaps better known to most as a translator of Chinese poetry.
		Waley's approach, in other words, has a distinctly old-world and British feel, and is designed to appeal, not to the pedant or technical specialist, but to gentlemen and gentlemen scholars, and ladies also, who are seriously interested in understanding the thought of Lao Tzu.

	Sample No. 5
		One can make all kinds of guesses concerning Waley's reasons for not going to Asia: that he didn't want to confuse the ideal with the real, or that he was interested in the ancient written languages and not the modern spoken ones, or that he simply could not afford the journey.
		But when Arthur Waley took his job in the Oriental Subdepartment of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum in 1913 such an esthetic approach was very much in the air, and he breathed in a good deal of it.
		Waley's translations enraptured readers—whether they were of the Sitwells' social class, or of the comfortable upper middle—who felt that the forces of darkness and unreason were taking over.

	[minstrels] Self-Abandonment -- Li Po
		I find Arthur Waley a rather unsympathetic translator of Li Po; often, he seems irked by the poet's carefree hedonism [1], preferring the austerity and elegance of, say, Tu Fu or Wang Wei.
		That said, there are occasions on which Waley gets things exactly right; this is one of them.
		Waley's other works include The No Plays of Japan (1921), Introduction to the Study of Chinese Painting (1923), The Opium War Through Chinese Eyes (1958), and The Ballads and Stories from Tun-huang (1960).
