Collecting in full for the first time the correspondence between Ezra Pound and members of Leo Frobenius' Forschungsinstitut für Kulturmorphologie in Frankfurt across a 30 year period, this book sheds new light on an important but previously unexplored influence on Pound's controversial intellectual development in the Fascist era. Ezra Pound's long-term interest in anthropology and ethnography exerted a profound influence on early 20th century literary Modernism. These letters reveal the extent of the influence of Frobenius' concept of 'Paideuma' on Pound's poetic and political writings during this period and his growing engagement with the culture of Nazi Germany. Annotated throughout, the letters are supported by contextualising essays by leading Modernist scholars as well as relevant contemporary published articles by Pound himself and his leading correspondent at the Institute, the American Douglas C. Fox.

BLAST I & II - Ezra PoundAutor: Ezra PoundEditado & Traducido por Juan ArabiaISBN: 9789874197948 Idioma: Espa ol - Ingl sHacia 1914, en Londres, se comenz a editar el primer n mero de la revista BLAST. Un nuevo movimiento, del que BLAST era el rgano oficial, fue llamado Vorticismo por Ezra Pound, siendo Pound y Wyndham Lewis sus principales publicistas. El advenimiento de BLAST fue anunciado en la contraportada de The Egoist (publicaci n en la que Pound colaboraba) con un anuncio que proclamaba: "Fin de la Era Cristiana". Poemas del mismo Lewis, como "Enemy of the Stars", conten an cierta declaraci n del movimiento: "Our Vortex is not afraid of the Past: it has forgotten its existence. / Our Vortex regards the Future as as sentimental as the past" (Nuestro V rtice no teme al Pasado: ha olvidado su existencia. / Nuestro V rtice mira hacia el Futuro tan sencillamente como hacia el pasado).Sin embargo, Pound siempre aclar (a diferencia del futurismo) que el Vorticismo no s lo conten a un torbellino "donde las ideas se precipitan constantemente". Se trataba, m s bien, de un movimiento que estaba en di logo con lo mejor de las tradiciones (era el momento en el que Pound encontraba similitudes entre el imagismo y la poes a oriental): poes a china (Li Po), Catulo, Propercio, Bertran de Born y otros autores del pante n poundiano. Fue Pound el que invent el t rmino "vorticista". Proviene de "vortex" v rtice, el punto m ximo de energ a, torbellino o centro de un cicl n. Los poemas vorticistas se representan por su car cter experimental, reflejado en la sensaci n del v rtigo que comunica, la serie de enumeraciones no relacionadas, el uso de las formas (y por tanto dinamismo) en la velocidad y simultaneidad en el que las piezas se relacionan (como en un cuadro abstracto) en planos que juegan e interaccionan.

Although many have tried to erase him from memory, Ezra Pound still stands with Mark Twain, Herman Melville, and Nathaniel Hawthorne as one of the great American writers, and most will still admit that he is America's greatest poet. He's famous for not only defining the modernist poetry movement with works such as Ripostes, Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, and The Cantos; but also for mentoring and promoting many of the twentieth century's most important writers including T.S. Elliot, Robert Frost, William Butler Yeats, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and D.H. Lawrence. On the other hand, Pound is also famous (or rather, infamous) for a series of pro-Fascist radio broadcasts made in Italy during World War II. After the war, Pound was arrested for treason and held for six months at a detention center outside Pisa. However, after he was flown back to America the US government shied away from trying Pound in court, instead choosing to lock him up in St. Elizabeth's Hospital for mental illness - even after he had been found fit to stand trial in Italy. According to literary scholar Hugh Kenner, the reason for Pound's being committed was to "prevent the ideas expressed in his broadcasts from being inspected" by the public at large. In short, they were likely worried that the public might hear something that they agree with. Contained in these pages are very likely some of the opinions and knowledge that they didn't want you to hear. Pound's distaste for the war and his admiration of Fascism largely stemmed from his exploration of the topic of economics. In particular Pound saw the Fascist model's ability to subordinate money to the interests of society as superior to the English and American models which allowed the power of bankers to run unfettered. In What is Money For?, Ezra Pound even touted Fascism as the only system whose "surgeon's knife" can cut the "cancer of usury out of the life of the nations." Although quotes like this were enough for many to label him a "genuine Fascist", Pound was not an idealogue. He was actually against promoting Italian-style Fascism in America. This is not to say that I "advocate" Fascism in and for America, or that I think that Fascism is possible in America without Mussolini. Pound believed that a country could take inspiration from the successes of other nations, but that there "may be several economic solutions to any problem," and that 1930s America was not suited for an Italian-style government.

Finalist, Pegasus Award for Poetry Criticism Ezra Pound's Cathay (1915) is a masterpiece both of modernism and of world literature. The muscular precision of images that mark Pound's translations helped establish a modern style for American literature, at the same time creating a thirst for classical Chinese poetry in English. Pound's dynamic free-verse translations in a modern idiom formed the basis for T.S. Eliot's famous claim that Pound was the "inventor of Chinese poetry for our time." Yet Pound achieved this feat without knowing any Chinese, relying instead on word-for-word "cribs" left by the Orientalist Ernest Fenollosa, whose notebooks reveal a remarkable story of sustained cultural exchange. This fully annotated critical edition focuses on Pound's astonishing translations without forgetting that the original Chinese poems are masterpieces in their own right. On the one hand, the presentation of all that went into the final Cathay makes it possible for the first time to appreciate the magnitude and the nuances of Pound's poetic art. At the same time, by bringing the final text together with the Chinese and Old English poems it claims to translate, as well as the manuscript traces of Pound's Japanese and American interlocutors, the volume also recovers practices of poetic circulation, resituating a Modernist classic as a work of world literature. The Pound text and its intertexts are presented with care, clarity, and visual elegance. By providing the first accurate and unabridged transcriptions of Fenollosa's notebooks, along with carefully edited Chinese texts, the volume makes it possible to trace the movements of poetic ideas and poetic expression as they veer toward and away from Pound's creations. In supplying the full Fenollosa texts, the volume overturns decades of scholarship that has mystified Pound's translation process as a kind of "clairvoyance," displaying instead the impressive amount of sinological learning preserved in Fenollosa's hard-to-read notebooks and by detailing every deviation from the probable sense of the originals. The edition also supplies exhaustive historical, critical, and textual notes, clarifying points that have sometimes lent obscurity to Pound's poems and making the process of translation visible even for readers with no knowledge of Chinese. Cathay: A Critical Edition includes the original fourteen Chinese translations as well as Pound's unique version of "The Seafarer," which is fully annotated alongside its Anglo-Saxon source. Also included are Pound's fifteen additional Chinese translations from Lustra and other contemporary publications, his essay "Chinese Poetry" (1919), a substantial textual Introduction, and original essays by Christopher Bush and Haun Saussy on international modernism, the mediation of Japan, and translation. The meticulous treatment and analysis of the texts for this landmark edition will forever change how readers view Pound's "Chinese" poems. In addition to discoveries that permanently alter the scholarly record and force us to revise a number of critical commonplaces, the critical apparatus allows readers to make fresh discoveries by making available the specific networks through which poetic expression moved among hands, languages, and media. Ultimately, this edition not only enables us more fully to appreciate a canonical work of Modernism but also resituates the art of Pound's translations by recovering the historical circulations that went into the making of a multiply authored and intrinsically hybrid masterpiece.
