Since its emergence in the early 19th century, "The Tale of Kiều" has been reproduced, transcribed, annotated, and studied in countless editions, becoming an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the Vietnamese people. Scholar An Chi added his distinctive voice with The Tale of Kiều – Duy Minh Thị Edition (1872). The book stands out in three key aspects: (1) It's an accurate and well-reasoned transcription, based on the features of southern Chữ Nôm and corrections of printing errors; (2) its carefully written and emotionally engaging annotations and discussions, arranged methodically and offering fresh interpretations of The Tale of Kiều's language; and (3) the author’s rigorous scholarly spirit and openness to dialogue, shown through extensive cross-referencing and attentive engagement with readers’ feedback. Enriched with vivid illustrations, this work adds a unique hue to the vibrant “garden of Kiều studies.”
