description Stylistic devices have a great power of expressive meaning in literature. There are many different kinds of stylistic devices and each kind of them brings the different effects. This thesis is carried out to investigate the stylistic devices commonly used in Hồ Xuân Hƣơng‟s poems and contrast them with their English versions. The samples of the research were collected from poems in the book “Spring Essence The Poetry of Hồ Xuân Hƣơng” by John Balanba (2000). As a consequence, the study will help the foreigners understand more clearly about stylistic devices in Ho Xuan Huong‟s poems, the teachers and learners of English translate these stylistic devices better.
