Amsterdam University Press Chinese Poetry and Translation: Rights and Wrongs - AUP

Explore the complex relationship between language and literature with Chinese Poetry and Translation: Rights and Wrongs. Published by Amsterdam University Press, this academic collection presents fifteen essays that examine the connection between poetry, translation, and the Chinese language. The book is organized into three distinct sections: "The Translator's Take," "Theoretics," and "Impact." This structure allows readers to navigate through various perspectives, ranging from queer-feminist engagements with contemporary Chinese poetry to deep philosophical and philological studies of ancient texts. Whether you are studying Tang- and Song-dynasty classical poetry in Western languages or investigating the influence of Baudelaire and Celan in Chinese, this volume provides a wide-ranging look at translation as an interlingual and intercultural act. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in theoretical expositions and the practical realities of moving poetic works across cultural boundaries.
