First published in 1915, Cathay, Ezra Pound's early monumental
work, originally contained fourteen translations from the Chinese
and a translation of the Anglo-Saxon poem "The Seafarer." Over
time, these poems have been widely read and loved as both
translations and original poetry. In 1916, Cathay was reprinted in
the book Lustra without "The Seafarer" and with four more Chinese
poems. Cathay is greatly indebted to the notes of a Harvard-trained
scholar Ernest Fenollosa. "In Fenollosa's Chinese poetry
materials," Pound scholar Zhaoming Qian writes, "Pound discovered a
new model that at once mirrored and challenged his developing
poetics." Edited by Qian, this centennial edition reproduces for
the first time the text of the original publication plus the poems
from Lustra and transcripts of all the relevant Fenollosa notes and
Chinese texts. Also included is a new foreword by Ezra Pound's
daughter Mary de Rachewiltz, providing an appreciation and
fascinating background material on this pivotal work of Pound's
oeuvre.
