Opis

American Modernist Poetry and the Chinese Encounter offers a framework for understanding the variety of encounters by eight different American poets with their imagined 'Chinese' subject. While the tradition of Asian-American literature and criticism is well-established, there has been less exposure to how China-based critics have viewed the increasing popularity of canonical and emerging American poetry. Contributors to the volume read the claims of specific poems alongside the actual and tumultuous changes China faced between 1911 and 1979 and suggest that each of the poets attempted to engage their subject with a degree of commitment that presaged China's subsequent dominance
