  Sorry to send this to the general list, but I've tried sending a panel
proposal to you at this address three times today, Robert, and every time I

Quoting Robert Kibler <[log in to unmask]>:

> Fellow Poundians,

>     As you know, Pound was getting Chinese from all corners from about
> 1913 onwards.  He had inherited the Fenollosa papers and through them,
> became acquainted with Taoist and Buddhist poets of the T'ang period, as
> well as with Chinese aesthetics and poetics generally. But he also
> started reading Confucius about this time, and as Mary Cheadle argues,
> Pound remained a Confucian virtually all the rest of his works and days,
> even if his understanding of Confucianism changed time and again.

>    Given the enduring and profound impact of Confucianism on Pound's

> (as opposed to exclusively reading from a paper--we need more life in
> our sessions.) on the subject at this year's MLA Convention.  Send
> title, abstract, and short vita to Robert Kibler, via e-mail, no later
> than 15 March.
