THE ORIGINALITY OF ARTHUR WALEY

Network Three
on Network Three

by Roy Fuller who says that ever since he was a young man he has admired Arthur Waley 's translations of Chinese poetry. Three years ago he interviewed Arthur Waley for the Third Programme, and while preparing himself for that interview he began really to appreciate the subtlety and variety of Waley's metrical inventions.
Roy Fuller describes this meeting and assesses Waley's achievement. His talk is illustrated with some of Waley's translations and original poems.
