About this ebook

The Ezra Pound Studies Biennial claims a place as the flagship journal entirely devoted to Pound’s work at a time when Pound studies represents one of the most active fields in modernist scholarship. Elaborating on the life, work, and international reception of one of the prime movers of the modernist revolution in the arts and letters, this inaugural volume joins an ever-increasing number of studies examining Pound’s letters, prose, poetry, translations, companions and international reception, and taking the form among other things of critical essays and editions, digital projects, and monographs. Building on this work, the current volume features twelve high-caliber contributions written by a diverse group of established and emerging Pound scholars. Their subjects include the genesis of Pound’s Pisan Cantos, the poet’s political and economic preoccupations, his association with modernist women writers, his fascination with typography and with the Italian Renaissance, and his translations of Noh plays and French poetry.
