Cathay: Ezra Pound's Orient (Penguin Specials)

Cathay: Ezra Pound's Orient (Penguin Specials)

The English literati were fascinated by China at the turn of the century. London was a breeding ground for the avant-garde and modernist writers like Eliot, Yeats and Pound became infatuatedâ€”but only Pound set out to re-invent, re-connect and eventually "rethink the nature of an English poem." Published in 1915, Poundâ€™s translations were popular and highly controversial. His bold interpretations of Chinese form, wording and metric often bore little resemblance to the original. Cathay set the stage for a new approach to poetry and eventually for a newfound East in the West.
