Rebecca Beasley Bücher

Ezra Pound's engagement with the avant-garde art scene in early 20th-century London and Paris significantly influenced his social and political thought alongside his poetic experiments. Rebecca Beasley examines Pound's education in visual culture, linking his early poetry to American aestheticism, imagism, anarchism, and post-impressionist art. The study also explores his connections to vorticism, Dadaism, and Italian fascism, highlighting how his critical vocabulary shaped literary modernism as a visual culture. Utilizing unpublished materials, it enhances understanding of Pound's intellectual evolution and the interplay between modernist literature and visual arts.

Exploring the work of T.S. Eliot, T.E. Hulme and Ezra Pound - this book offers invaluable insight into the modernist movement and demonstrates the impact of these influential theorists on the shape and value of English Literature.
