Orientalism, Modernism, and the American Poem - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Kern, Robert (Boston College, Massachusetts)
This is a critical and historical interpretation of 'Oriental' influences on American modernist poetry. Kern equates Fenollosa and Pound's 'discovery' of Chinese writing with the American pursuit of a natural language for poetry, what Emerson had termed the 'language of nature'.
