Description
Discover the lost research of English poet and literary critic William Empson in The Face of the Buddha. Published by Oxford University Press, this work documents Empson's profound journey through the Buddhist sculptures of ancient Japan. After taking a teaching position in Tokyo in 1931, Empson spent years traveling to Korea, China, Cambodia, Burma, India, and Ceylon to study these art forms, alongside visits to major museums in the West. This book brings to life a manuscript that was once thought lost after Empson mislaid the sole copy during the Second World War. It serves as a significant record of his wide-ranging travels and his deep fascination with Buddhist art and sculpture across Asia. Perfect for readers interested in poetry, drama, criticism, and the history of religious art.
