Thoát Hiên Vịnh sử Thi tập
In medieval Vietnamese poetry, a distinct and vigorously developed genre emerged: historical verse (vịnh sử poetry). Looking back at the achievements of this genre, it can be said that "Vịnh sử thi tập" by Thoát Hiên Đặng Minh Khiêm is the earliest historical poetry collection to have been widely circulated and to have served as a model for many later poets writing in the vịnh sử tradition.
"Thoát Hiên Vịnh sử Thi tập", edited and annotated by Hoàng Thị Ngọ and Nguyễn Văn Nguyên, is a scholarly study and transliteration with commentary on this important historical poetry collection within the Vietnamese medieval literary tradition. The work presents the original text, collates variant versions, explains classical allusions, and clarifies the historical and cultural contexts of the poems. Through this research, the book not only restores the philological value of Thoát Hiên Vịnh sử Thi tập but also highlights how earlier authors used poetry to comment on history, express moral perspectives, and articulate a consciousness of the national past. It is a valuable resource for Hán-Nôm studies and for the study of Vietnamese literary history.
