Extending the current trend in transnational studies back to the figural origins of both the United States and Iran, insightful comparative readings of Platonism and Sufi mysticism help explain how Emerson managed to reconcile through poetry two countries so seemingly different in religion, philosophy, and politics. Tracking Emerson's various rhetorical strategies through his own interrogation of language and critical readings of literature exposes what can be considered the sustained development of a latent but considerable translation theory. Emerson's practical application of such a theory in his approach to Hafez and Sa'di further demonstrates the extent to which Persian poetry becomes generative in his own nineteenth century, and how such formative effects continue into America's contemporary verse tradition"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a From Plato to Persia: Emerson's transnational origins -- Transparent eyeball/Persian Mirror -- Imitation as suicide: Islamic fatalism and the paradox of self-reliance -- The subversion of equivalence: Emerson's translation theory in praxis -- Americanizing Rumi and Hafez: the return of Emerson's verse translation -- The other side of the Persian mirror: Emerson's gaze as necessary corrective. 600 10 $a Emerson, Ralph Waldo, $d 1803-1882 $x Persian literature. $x Persian literature. 600 17 $a Emerson, Ralph Waldo, $d 1803-1882. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00028085 650 0 $a American poetry $x Persian influences. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Persian literature $x Influence. 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348 650 7 $a Persian literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01058528 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603013442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DCA0BBA9C8F11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
