Nineteen Ways of Looking at Wang Wei

A new expanded edition of the classic study of translation, finally back in print
The difficulty (and necessity) of translation is concisely described in Nineteen Ways of Looking at Wang Wei, a close reading of different translations of a single poem from the Tang Dynastyâ€•from a transliteration to Kenneth Rexrothâ€™s loose interpretation. As Octavio Paz writes in the afterword, â€œEliot Weinbergerâ€™s commentary on the successive translations of Wang Weiâ€™s little poem illustrates, with succinct clarity, not only the evolution of the art of translation in the modern period but at the same time the changes in poetic sensibility.â€
