Description: John Timothy Wixted's treatment of 150 of Yuan Haowen's poems distills available scholarship on the poet.
Review Quotes: The English renditions of the poems read beautifully; the lucid commentary, which distills available scholarship on the poet in Chinese, Japanese, and Western languages, will interest China specialists and the general reader. A significant milestone in the ever-growing corpus of English scholarship on traditional Chinese poetry.--James M. Hargett, Professor of Chinese Studies, University at Albany, SUNY
