Ezra Pound: The Cantos
Author: George KearnsPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521336499
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Pound's 800 page Cantos, written over a period of more than fifty years (1917-1969), invites the reader to join the poet on a journey from darkness and despair towards light and positive activity. In this book, George Kearns addresses the reader approaching The Cantos for the first time. He examines the poem's aesthetic and political-ethical-didactic dimensions and shows that despite its complexity and the many objections which can be raised to its poetics and politics, its study can be greatly rewarding.
The Late Cantos of Ezra Pound
Author: Michael KindellanPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1474258751
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Drawing extensively on archival research, The Late Cantos of Ezra Pound critically explores the textual history of Pound's late verse, namely Section: Rock-Drill (1955) and Thrones (1959). Examining unpublished letters, draft manuscripts and other prepublication material, this book addresses the composition, revision and dissemination of these difficult texts in order to shed new light on their significance to Pound's wider project, his methods and techniques, and the structures of authority-literary and political-that govern the meaning of his poetry. Illustrated by reproductions of archival documents, The Late Cantos of Ezra Pound is an innovative new study of one of the most important poets of the 20th century.

Poetics of Loss in the Cantos of Ezra Pound
Author: Nick SelbyPublisher: Edwin Mellen Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
This book examines how the modernist poetics exemplified in Ezra Pound's epic poem The Cantos are unavoidable bound-in with the ideological forces underpinning his advocacy of fascism. Overall it argues that Pound's reactionary urge to redefine a lost culture, couples with his sense of textual annihilation of a validating poetic centre, is the cultural ground on which his ideal of fascist republic rests.
