Xue Tao (AD 768-831) was well known as a poet in an age when all men of learning were poets - and almost all women were illiterate. As a writer, she crrated a body of work that is by turns deeply moving, amusing, and thought-provoking. This bilingual edition contains about two-thirds of Tao's extant poems.
