Subject: [Vsg] Chu Han versions of poems?
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I can find Chu Han versions of the following
two poems? The first was written to praise the Tay Son regime, while
the other written to attack it in direct response.
Nguyen Huy Luong, "Tung Tay Ho Phu" [Phu in Praise of West Lake]
Pham Thai, "Chien Tung Tay Ho Phu" [Attacking the Phu in Praise of
West Lake]
I have seen only bits of them in Chinese characters, and the entire
poems transliterated into quoc ngu. The Pham Thai is particularly
hard to find in any recent anthologies, because it attacks the Tay
Son. It is not contained in the Tong Hop Van Hoc Viet Nam (the big 42
volume set - which does include the Luong piece, but without the
characters].
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi again,
At the risk of answering part of my own question, I've discovered
that my copy of _Van Tho Nom Thoi Tay Son_ (Nguyen Cam Thuy and
Nguyen Pham Hung, 1997) does in fact has the Nom (not Han as I
mistakenly posted) of the Nguyen Huy Luong poem. I would still
welcome leads on finding the original of the Pham Thai poem.
Thanks,
