First Published In 1919 By Ezra Pound, Ernest Fenollosas Essay On The Chinese Written Language Has Become One Of The Most Often Quoted Statements In The History Of American Poetics. As Edited By Pound, It Presents A Powerful Conception Of Language That Continues To Shape Our Poetic And Stylistic Preferences: The Idea That Poems Consist Primarily Of Images; The Idea That The Sentence Form With Active Verb Mirrors Relations Of Natural Force. But Previous Editions Of The Essay Represent Pounds Understandingit Is Fair To Say, His Appropriationof The Text. Fenollosas Manuscripts, In The Beinecke Library Of Yale University, Allow Us To See This Essay In A Different Light, As A Document Of Early, Sustained Cultural Interchange Between North Americaand East Asia.Pounds Editing Of The Essay Obscured Two Important Features, Here Restored To View: Fenollosas Encounter With Tendai Buddhism And Buddhist Ontology, And His Concern With The Dimension Of Sound In Chinese Poetry.This Book Is The Definitive Critical Edition Of Fenollosas Important Work.
