Ezra Pound and China

Erza Pound and China, the first collection to explore the American poet´s career-long relationship with China, considers how Pound´s engagement with the Orient broadens the textual, cultural, and political boundaries of his modernism. The book´s contributors discuss, among other topics, issues of cultural transmission; the influence of POund´s Chionese studies on twentieth-century poetics; the importance of his work to contemporary theories of translation ; and the effects of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism on Pound´s political and economic thought.
