The Tension Between East and West

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE

The words Bild and bildhaft are used in two somewhat differing senses, one more positive (usually translated image or imaginal), the other more negative (translated semblance).

I am very grateful to Professor Elizabeth M. Wilkinson and to Mr. D. G. Mowatt, who read the manuscript and made many suggestions; to Dr. G. P. Butler for help with a number of points and to my wife for her advice and patience throughout.

B. A. Rowley.
