About this book

Textual Imitation offers a new critique of the space between fiction and truth, poetry and philosophy. In a nimble, yet startlingly wide-ranging argument, esteemed scholar Jonathan Hart argues that recognition and misrecognition are the keys to understanding texts and contexts from the Old World to the New World.

Reviews

'Professor Jonathan Hart, one of the leading comparatists of this hemisphere, continues with this new volume Textual Imitations to open up new vistas. The center pieces of this volume are two poets, one Chinese and one Japanese, and the ways their poetry is made accessible to a Western audience. This is indeed multi-culturalism at its best.' - Ricardo J. Quinones, Professor Emeritus,

Claremont McKenna College, USA
