4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent collection of Chinese poetry
This, one of two related anthologies of Chinese poetry, is an excellent overview of some of the best Chinese poems. There is a wide selection of different styles of poems from different authors. The only complaints are that the original Chinese is not printed, and there are few poems by women authors.

Why Wade-Giles?
I haven't read this book but can see from what's presented here that the book's editors and publishers are still using the Wade-Giles system of transcription of Chinese. At this stage of the game with pinyin having been the standard at least since the 1980's, why are they still using the Wade-Giles system?
