This volume demonstrates how the traditions that had deeply impressed earlier generations of Western writers like Goethe and Voltaire did not lose their lustre; to the contrary, a fascination with these past riches sprouted with renewed vigour among Euro-American poets, novelists, and other cultural figures after the fall of imperial China in 1911. From Petrograd to Paris, and from São Paolo to San Francisco, China’s premodern poetry, theatre, essays, and fiction inspired numerous prominent writers and intellectuals. The contributors survey the fruits of this engagement in multiple Western languages and nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  Notes on Contributors    Introduction   Stephen Roddy and Zong-qi Cai    1 Walter Benjamin’s China   William Cheung    2 The Chinese Written Character and the Reinvention of Western and Chinese Poetry: Ernest Fenollosa and Ezra Pound   Xiaohui Zhang and Zong-qi Cai    3 A Semiopoetic Reimagination of Concreteness: Chinese Ideograms in Haroldo de Campos   Inez Zhou    4 A Poet-Knight-Errant Traveling North: Three Russian Poets’ Translations of Li Bai   Xiaolu Ma    5 Robert Hans van Gulik and the Reinvention of Chinese Detective Fiction   Yunte Huang    6 Rethinking Pearl S.
