The Chinese written character as a medium for poetry by
Ernest Fenollosa(
)
19 editions published between 2008 and 2011 in English and held by 1,050 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
First published in 1919 by Ezra Pound, Ernest Fenollosa?s 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 Pound?s understanding?it is fair to say, his appropriation?of the text. Fenollosa?s manuscripts, in the Beinec
