The Tang dynasty is considered a golden age for poetry, part of UNESCO world literary heritage if that existed, and this book makes clear why. It has benefited from a collaboration between a Chinese and an American scholar, Zhang Ting-chen and Bruce Wilson. However the translations are not academic; many of them are great poems on their own. The book provides hundred outstanding and seminal poems with the original Chinese, great translations and relevant footnotes.
