| The Poetics of Repetition in English and Chinese Lyric Poetry For more than half a century, Chinese-Western comparative literature has been recognized as a formal academic discipline, but critics and scholars in the field have done little to develop a viable, common basis for comparison between these disparate literatures. In this pioneering book, Cecile Chu-chin Sun establishes repetition as the ideal perspective from which to compare the poetry and poetics from these two traditions. Cecile Chu-chin Sun teaches in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of Pittsburgh and is the author of Pearl from the Dragon's Mouth: Evocation of Scene and Feeling in Chinese Poetry . |
