After an overview of Pound's role in the evolution of contemporary translation theories, the development of his translation theories is outlined. As for his translation practices, the dissertation examines his innovative application of image for the trans-temporal emotional transference in Cathay and the syntactic and semantic translational features in his version of The Analects.
