Description
Ezra Pound and W.B. Yeats spent the winters of 1913-16 living together in a Cottage in Sussex. During that period, Yeats, with Pound's help, developed his autobiographies and Noh-style plays. Pound, similarly, under Yeats's influence, experimented with esoteric texts in the development of his own Imagistic theory. Drawing on extensive literary scholarship and previously unpublished work by Pound and Yeats, Longenbach's book breaks new ground in the study of this critical period in the rise of Modernism.
Reviews / Votes
`exhaustive account of this crucial phase in early modernism ... his book is a well-written and generously indexed analysis of one of the most intriguing "workshops" in modern literature.'Literatur 'In its judiciousness, humaneness and gracefully borne learning (the book) calls to mind the late Richard Ellman at the height of his powers. It is at once an imposing piece of research, a fundamental contribution to the study of early Modernism, and a deftly told narrative that abounds in pathos, irony, and outright comedy. This book will permanently and radically alter the received wisdom about Pound's relation to Yeats.' Frederick Crews, University of California at Berkeley
