Cover of K. W. Taylor & John K. Whitmore: Essays into Vietnamese Pasts (PDF)

Essays that demonstrate ways to ‘read’ the pasts of Vietnam through detailed analyses of its art, chronicles, legends, documents, and monuments. The book’s many voices undermine the idea of a single Vietnamese past. All the essays, while varied, are connected by their common concerns with language and text.
