鲁迅的《唐宋传奇集》是唐宋传奇小说最权威的选本，在华人世界流传极广，可是一直没有英文本传世。
经过一个充满活力的团队---近30位汉学家的将近两年的努力，第一部英译本【英汉双语】《唐宋传奇集》（由美国著名汉学家、宾夕法尼亚大学教授梅维恒与本博联合主编）已由新加坡世界科学出版社出版。
美国汉学界给予此书相当高的评价。下面是几段评语及译文：
这是鲁迅《唐宋传奇集》的第一个英译本。鲁迅的选集是一部具有里程碑意义的选集，不仅因为它代表了这种来自中世纪中国的写作，而且是20世纪中国人对中国传统“小说”态度的里程碑。鲁迅的选集目前仍然被广泛阅读。 ——罗纳德·伊根，斯坦福大学教授
This is the first English translation of Lu Xun's seminal anthology of Tang and Song period stories. The selection Lu Xun put together is a landmark anthology, important not only for its representation of this kind of writing from medieval China but also as a milestone in twentieth-century attitudes towards traditional Chinese "fiction." Lu Xun's anthology is now still widely read. ––Ronald Egan, Stanford University
鲁迅的《唐宋传奇集》开创了近代中国中世纪小说研究的先河。大师的学术分析、历史感悟和审美情趣，赋予了这种古代文体一种连古人都闻所未闻的非凡魅力。以鲁迅的经典著作为基础，梅维恒和张振钧以英译方式呈现了一部非凡的唐宋故事集。读者将在其中发现各种各样的故事，从奇幻的到历史的、从侠义的到传奇的。对于任何对中国和世界文学感兴趣的人来说，这都是一个绝妙的读本。 ——王德威，哈佛大学教授
Lu Xun’s Tang Song chuanqi ji pioneered the study of medieval Chinese narratives in the modern era. The master’s scholarly analysis, historical sensibility, and aesthetic taste provided the ancient genre an extraordinary glamour unknown even to the ancients. Based on Lu Xun’s canonical work, Victor Mair and Zhenjun Zhang have presented a remarkable collection of Tang and Song tales in English translation. Readers will find in it a wide spectrum of tales, from the fantastic to the historical and the chivalric to the legendary. This is a marvelous reader for anyone interested in Chinese and world literature. ––David Wang, Harvard University
凭借这本短篇古文小说集，鲁迅为他和后代的中国现代读者有效地确认了唐宋散文叙事的经典地位。但许多后来的学者和译者只关注其中的几个故事，而忽略了其余的故事。现在，在鲁迅的原著出版近一个世纪之后，这部将文本、翻译和注释合而为一的书，将保证《唐宋传奇集》向世界各地的新一代学生和比较研究者介绍当时的作家所进行的叙事实验，正如鲁迅所期望的那样。 ——罗伯特·黑格，华盛顿大学教授
With this collection of short classical language fiction, Lu Xun effectively defined the canonical Tang and Song prose narratives for his and subsequent generations of modern Chinese readers. But many later scholars and translators have concentrated on only a few of these stories, leaving the rest virtually ignored. Now, nearly a century after Lu Xun’s original publication, this combination of text, translation, and explanatory notes all in one volume will guarantee that Anthology of Tang and Song Tales will introduce new generations of students and comparatists around the world to the range of narrative experimentation carried out by the writers of those centuries, as Lu Xun would have intended. ––Robert E. Hegel, Washington University, St. Louis
