The book is a meticulous and well-documented work, consisting of four parts: Truyền kỳ tân phả (A New Compilation of Marvelous Tales), Chinh phụ ngâm khúc diễn âm (The Lament of a Soldier’s Wife in Vernacular Verse), Hồng Hà phu nhân di văn (The Writings of Lady Hồng Hà), and an appendix featuring the most recent and significant studies on Đoàn Thị Điểm and her works by various scholars and researchers. Associate Professor Dr. Trần Thị Băng Thanh carefully compiled, researched, translated, transcribed, and annotated the texts with scholarly rigor and precision. She also respectfully incorporated and obtained permission to include the completed translations of esteemed predecessors such as Ngô Lập Chi, Trần Văn Giáp, Bùi Hạnh Cẩn, Hoàng Xuân Hãn, and Nguyễn Kim Hưng. “A Glimpse of Elegance – The Poetry and Prose of Poetess Hồng Hà” is a valuable and insightful contribution to both researchers and literature enthusiasts. The book not only paints a portrait of Lady Hồng Hà through her literary works, which hold immense historical and contemporary relevance, but also reflects the enduring admiration and appreciation of generations of readers over nearly three centuries since her passing.
