Biography
钟惺，竟陵人。
明史卷二百八十八 列传第一百七十六：
惺，字伯敬，竟陵人。万历三十八年进士。授行人，稍迁工部主事，寻改南京礼部，进郎中。擢福建提学佥事，以父忧归，卒于家。惺貌寝，羸不胜衣，为人严冷，不喜接俗客，由此得谢人事。官南都，僦秦淮水阁读史，恒至丙夜，有所见即笔之，名曰《史怀》。晚逃于禅以卒。
自宏道矫王、李诗之弊，倡以清真，惺复矫其弊，变而为幽深孤峭。与同里谭元春评选唐人之诗为《唐诗归》，又评选隋以前诗为《古诗归》。钟、谭之名满天下，谓之竟陵体。然两人学不甚富，其识解多僻，大为通人所讥。元春，字友夏，名辈后于惺，以《诗归》故，与齐名。至天启七年始举乡试第一，惺已前卒矣。
