No literary figure of the past century - in America or perhaps in any other        Western country - is comparable to Ezra Pound in the scope and depth of his exchange        with China. To this day, scholars and students still find it puzzling that this        influential poet spent a lifetime incorporating Chinese language, literature,        history, and philosophy into Anglo-American modernism. How well did Pound know        Chinese? Was he guided exclusively by eighteenth to nineteenth-century orientalists        inhis various Chinese projects? Did he seek guidance from Chinese peers? Those who        have written about Pound and China have failed to address this fundamental question.          No one could do so just a few years ago when the letters Pound wrote to his Chinese        friends were sealed or had not been found. This bookbrings together 162 revealing        letters between Pound and nine Chinese intellectuals, eighty-five of them newly        opened up and none previously printed. Accompanied by editorial introductions and        notes, these selected letters make available for the first time the forgotten        stories of Pound and his Chinese friends. They illuminate a dimension in Pound's        career that has been neglected: his dynamic interaction with people from China over        a span of forty-five years from 1914 until 1959. This selectionwill also be a        documentary record of a leading modernist's unparalleled efforts to pursue what he        saw as the best of China, including both his stumbles and his triumphs.
