The reasoned, and to mind completely right attack on modern translators who excuse themselves for not rhyming either because chinese has too much rhyme for english to match or because they are modernists who think rhyme dates poetry, is itself worth the price of the book. How wonderful to have a playful professor with the guts to rhyme. I borrowed a ribald poem with the word "meat-stick" in it, to drum out the last chapter of my Orientalism & Occidentalism -- Is the Mistranslation of Culture Inevitable?" His smaller "Song-poems from Xanadu" are also delightful. I wish he were still here with us. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Crump presents the genre of san-ch'ü poetry in a lively and entertaining manner. Song-Poems begins with a brief survey of the origins of the genre and of its metrical intricacies and poetic conventions. Then, translating poems ranging from the Rabelaisian to the sublime, Crump explores its favorite themes: human absurdity, the poignant and comic aspects of love and desire, the futility of ambition, and the joys of rustic life. Interweaving lively translations of one hundred and twenty poems with discussion of their social and literary context, Song-Poems from Xanadu is a succinct introduction to the special pleasures of these lyrics from the age of Kublai Khan. The Chinese texts of all poems are included along with notes, appendixes, bibliography, and character index. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
