Self description: "The Project is based on the researches of Bruce and Taeko Brooks into the dates and authenticity of the classical Chinese texts. [...] The Warring States period [...] are little understood due to uncertainty about the dates of the source texts. [...] The Project was founded in 1993 by Lee R. Edwards, Dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, as a forum where this work could be developed in dialogue with other scholars [...] It has gradually become a focus of collaboration for the 100 international scholars of the Warring States Working Group."
