Building on past translation theories, recent scholarship in translation studies, and the findings of related academic fields, it distinguishes two different meanings of the term imitation: the free method of translation commonly used in translation studies and the creative emulation of earlier models fruitfully explored in the study of hypertextuality and poetic influence. It argues that imitation in the second sense, offering illuminating insights into textual relations and literary influence, deserves to be conceived as a distinctive type of rewriting, since Lefevere habitually uses the word without purging it of the second meaning and readily acknowledges the possibility of new rewriting forms. By analyzing the celebrated Chinese intellectual Zhou Zuoren's (1885–1967) appropriation of the English poet William Blake's (1757–1827) poems on children in the May Fourth era (1915–1927), this essay demonstrates that imitation can not only exhibit the distinguishing features of Lefevere's rewriting, but also provide fresh insights into translation studies and beyond through its assistance in identifying hitherto unknown borrowings from foreign literature. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Perspectives: Studies in Translatology is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
