Subject: rare record of classics discovered (1)
***********************************************************

The Didi Kirsten Tatlow article conveys the excitement of this discovery
but does not mention how the curious reader could learn more.

The texts have been published as 清華大學藏戰國竹簡, though I am not clear
on how 
complete that edition is, and the editor also wrote an English article for
the _Journal of Chinese Philosophy_, available here, for a fee:

Dartmouth will be hosting a conference on a selection of the texts later
this summer:

I would be curious to know whether anyone has published English articles
discussing some of the "new" or "different" passages in detail. It is
touching to consider that the burial of these slips before the 焚书坑儒 may
represent an early Chinese achievement in the circumvention of censorship.
