Reviews

From an editorial perspective, the selection of essays and the quality of the translations are very good, and both the volume's preface (authored by David Der-wei Wang) and introduction (authored by the volume's co-editors) are excellent. The translators and editors have included in-line Chinese characters for all proper names, titles of texts, and some specialized terminology, and have also added bibliographic footnotes where needed...The present volume offers English-language readers a small sampling of [Liu Zaifu's] formidable body of work. -Carlos Rojas, Duke University, in MCLC Resource Center Publication (Copyright November, 2021)
