“Taken as a whole, Roberts’s version of the Daodejing captures the sense of the original, and it is convincingly poetic in its texture, rhythms, and rhymes.—Journal of Chinese Philosophy
“Roberts’ is an outstanding translation because he has so skillfully employed the English language to convey successfully the poetic quality of the Daodejing. . . .By faithfully following the structure of the original work [Roberts provides] non-Chinese readers an opportunity to experience the beauty of form of this canonical work.—Philosophy East & West
“Roberts’ renditions are often refreshing; he displays a fidelity to the poetic qualities of the original and at his best translates with an earthy literalness which is the very antithesis of the esoteric imaginings of popular paraphrasers.—Journal of Religious History
