Richard Mather was born in Baoding, China … Richard Mather was born in Baoding, China and grew up there until he came to United States to go to college, graduating summa cum laude in 1935 from Princeton University. His plans to return to China were interrupted by the war and he instead went on to the University of California, Berkeley to pursue his PhD in Chinese literature, studying with Peter Boodberg and others.<br> Mather came to the University of Minnesota in 1949 to found the study of Chinese language and literature. In the following decades, he was a major force in Chinese studies at the university and across the nation. He was central to establishing the field of early medieval Chinese studies with his monumental translation, ''A New Account of Tales of the World'' (University of Minnesota Press, 1976). Even after his 1984 retirement Mather was very active, publishing ''The Poet Shen Yüeh: The Reticent Marquis'' (Princeton UP, 1988) and the two-volume ''The Age of Eternal Brilliance: Three Lyric Poets of the Yung-ming Era'' (Brill, 2003). His ''New Account'' was reissued in a revised second edition by U of Michigan Press in 2002.
