Description:
Xie, a poetry scholar (academic affiliation not noted), examines the notion of the Chinese ideogram in Fenollosa, Pound, and Lowell in relation to Western conceptions and misconceptions and poetic theory and practice. He then discusses the doctrine of the "moment" or the Image; considers the modulation of the elegiac and the role of personae in English translations from the Chinese; demonstrates aspects of poetic syntax and experiments with rhythm and cadence in Chinese translations and these writers' more original compositions; and assesses Pound's translation work.
