It was a stroke of luck that Mrs. Fenollosa selected Ezra Pound as the executor of Ernest Fenollosa's manuscripts in late 1913. Pound knew neither Chinese nor Japanese at that time to warrant her choice. But the decision turned out to be a wise one. Without Pound, Fenollosa's essay, The Chinese Written Character As a Medium for Poetry, might never have been published, and had it been published by some one else, most probably it would not have gained such vehement propagation and in turn so much critical attention. Through the discovery of Fenollosa's writing, Pound all of a sudden realized that he and his associates had 'sought the force of Chinese ideographs without knowing it.' And he seized every opportunity to introduce Fenollosa's ideas. In his letter to his former professor, Dr. Schelling, in 1913, he wrote, 'Fenollosa has left a most enlightening essay on the [Chinese] written character (a whole basis of aesthetic in reality).' And in 1934 he emphasized again, 'The first definite assertion of the applicability of scientific method to literary criticism is found in Ernest Fenollosa's Essay on the Chinese Written Character.” |
