Stephen Owen, Harvard University, USA.
"To call Du Fu China's greatest poet grossly underestimates his
importance. [...] Thus the first full translation of Du Fu's poems
into English is a major event, and everyone involved in the study
of Chinese literature owes Stephen Owen a great debt. That his
edition of Du Fu's poems includes helpful annotation, such as
explanatory footnotes, scholarly endnotes pointing out variants and
justifying interpretations, and a guide to major allusions, makes
it an invaluable scholarly tool. Moreover, the online version is
open access, making it even more convenient for students and poetry
lovers alike."
