Dear Poundians:
I am doing my MA in American Studies and I’ve started studying the
‘’Cantos’’. I haven’t chosen the exact angle or perspective to deal with
this broad phenomenon yet. I am now trying to understand it just as one
whole epic poem and then decide on the particular approach.
It would be very nice of you if you could explain to me how exactly is the
synchronic method expressed in ‘’Cantos’’? You know, I read that the Chinese
poetry is synchronic and Pound took this very synchronicity from it. But I’d
like you to tell me more exactly what it means. Moreover, I can’t understand
why English language can be admitted to have diachronic sense (opposed to
Chinese poetry).
Thanks,
Maya.
