In East-West Exchange and Late Modernism, Zhaoming Qian examines
the nature and extent of Asian influence on some of the literary
masterpieces of Western late modernism. Focusing on the poets
William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, and Ezra Pound, Qian
relates captivating stories about their interactions with Chinese
artists and scholars and shows how these encounters helped ignite a
return to their early experimental modes. After studying Chinese
poetry, Williams published his celebrated set of poems ""The Cassia
Tree."" Exposure to the Tao and its doctrines renewed Moore's
style. Qian presents a lost lecture by Moore on the subject,
transcribed here for the first time. Pound was equally influenced
by Confucianism and by, as Qian demonstrates, anthropological
studies of the spiritualism and pictographic language of the
little-known Naxi people of southwest China. Qian's sinuous
readings expand our understanding of late modernism by bringing
into focus its heightened attention to meaning in space, obsession
with imaginative sensibility, and enlarged respect for harmony
between humanity and nature.
