For more than half a century, ChineseWestern comparative literature has been recognized as a formal academic discipline, but critics and scholars in the field have done little to develop a viable, common basis for comparison between these disparate literatures. In this pioneering book, Cecile Chuchin Sun establishes repetition as the ideal perspective from which to compare the poetry and poetics from these two traditions.Sun contends that repetition is at the heart of all that defines the lyric as a unique art form and, by closely examining its use in Chinese and Western poetry, she demonstrates howone can identify important points of convergence and divergence. Through a representative sampling of poems from both traditions, she illustrates how the irreducible generic nature of the lyric transcends linguistic and cultural barriers but also reveals the fundamental distinctions between the traditions. Most crucially, she dissects the two radically different conceptualizations of realitymimesis and xingthat serve as underlying principles for the poetic practices of each tradition.Skillfully integrating theory and practice, The Poetics of Repetition in English and Chinese Lyric Poetryprovides a muchneeded model for future study of Chinese and English poetry as well as lucid, succinct interpretations of individual poems.
