Enjoying this so far. For perhaps obvious reasons much of the subtlety of the poetry is lost in translation, but otherwise the translations are good. I've reached Wang Chi-yu in Part III (Tang Dynasty) but feel I must return the book to the library for a time. As is typical of a scholarly volume, the front matter is numbered separately, consisting of 64 pages in addition to the 630 numbered pages.
