Editorial Reviews

Review


"This pathbreaking study...is proof that sound scholarship need not be dreary....An impressively humble guide certain to prove invaluable as Western experience with Asia grows exponentially, this is a must addition to every serious Asian literary collection."--Choice

3.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book. I expected more..., October 24, 1999
This review is from: The Traditional Literature of Cambodia: A Preliminary Guide (London Oriental Series) (Hardcover)
No khmer script. There are 282 pgs, but 1/3 of this is the bibliography. Summaries of stories and poems are all in english. Too bad, it would have been better if Ms. Jacob include the khmer scripts.
