"The book rests on a great deal of original scholarly work, yet is designed to be understood and enjoyed by any reader of poetry--or, for that matter, any student of things Chinese." 
-- David Lattimore

Owen Stephen – The Poetry of Meng Chiao and Han Yü (Hardcover)

A serious literary translation volume centered on two major Tang-era poets, typically aimed at readers who want more than “pretty paraphrases.” 

Expect careful renderings, contextual framing, and the kind of scholarly apparatus (introductions, notes, maybe a bibliography/index) that makes it usable for study, not just browsing.

Meng Jiao’s intensity and Han Yu’s intellectual force are not “easy” poets, so a good translation edition becomes a long-term reference.
