Editorial Reviews
Victor Mair, Professor of Chinese Languages and Literature University of Pennsylvania
Original Tao is an outstanding contribution to the study of early Taoist religion and thought. No one who is interested in these subjects will be able to ignore it.

Review

"In his rigorous scholarship of textual archaeology and mystical hermeneutics, Harold Roth has given us invaluable insights, the analytical tools and a perspective to examine the religious traditions of not only China, but of the rest of the world as well." -- Franklin J. Woo, China Review International



"An estimable achievement by one of the foremost scholars of early Taoism in North America... powerful and original." -- Paul Rakita Goldin, Sino-Platonic Papers
