Stuart H. Sargent, Ph.D. (Stanford, 1977), publishes primarily on Song Dynasty poetry, but his interests include Japanese poetry and Chinese literary theory. He has taught at the University of Maryland College Park, Colorado State University, and Stanford University.

"He Zhu was an erudite, multifaceted poet. This book, surely the hard-won result of many years of research, reflects that in its form. It is a series of readings of He Zhu’s collected shi poetry through the lens of genre with accurate (and beautiful) translations, lucid metrical notations, copious annotations, and discussions of the contexts of the poems informed by a deep knowledge of He Zhu’s contemporaries, especially Su Shi. Sargent has produced a definitive work that will not be superseded precisely because it refuses to synthesize without sufficient data." – Graham Sanders, University of Toronto, in: Journal of Asian Studies (2009)
