An exception to the rule that the first-rank poets in premodern China were men, the woman poet Li Qingzhao (1084–1150s) occupies a crucial place in Chinese literature. Ronald C. Egan challenges conventional thinking about Li, examining how critics tried to accommodate her to cultural norms from late imperial times into the twentieth century.
