---------------------------------------------------- Internet Guide for Chinese Studies Newsletter http://www.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/igcs/ignew.htm ---------------------------------------------------- 12 Feb 2005, recorded by Hanno Lecher New in IGCS - Biographies (http://www.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/igcs/igbio.htm): Index and Database on Chinese Writes Ed./Corp.: Renditions, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. URL: http://www.renditions.org/renditions/biography/ Language: English. Self description: "The author index is linked to a database which contains information [on] about 600 Chinese writers whose works have appeared in Renditions publications. The translator index lists the works of individual translators. Listings are in alphabetical order." Description: Quite useful little database, containing biographical data as well as a list of most important works, available English translations, and studies and biographies on the authors. However, these lists are by no means complete. Unfortunately no Chinese characters are given, only Hanyu Pinyin transliterations. Site contents: (1) Authors (Biography; Works; Works available in English; Studies and Biographies); (2) Translators; (3) Search. _______________________________________________________ With kind regards, Hanno E.
