From the dreaminess and aestheticism of his early poems, to his Imagist and Vorticist manifestos, to the formally experimental method and mythic engagement with history in The Cantos, Pound marks the path that modern and postmodern poetry would follow. This collection provides a documentary record of the reviews of Ezra Pound's work in contemporary journals and newspapers, an introduction that traces the public outrage and controversy that characterized Pound's reception, and checklists of all known reviews of Pound's work. Most of the major poets and critics of the twentieth-century reviewed Pound's work, including T. S. Eliot, Ford Maddox Ford, William Carlos Williams and Edmund Wilson. Their multiple, perplexed, and sometimes hostile responses to his work provide a rich record of the struggles that marked the emergence of modern and contemporary poetry and poetics.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSeries editor's preface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e A Lume Spento (1908)\u003cbr\u003e Personae (1909)\u003cbr\u003e Exultations (1909)\u003cbr\u003e The Spirit of Romance (1910)\u003cbr\u003e Provença (1910)\u003cbr\u003e Canzoni (1911)\u003cbr\u003e Sonnets and Ballate of Guido Cavalcanti (1912)\u003cbr\u003e Ripostes (1912)\u003cbr\u003e Cathay (1915)\u003cbr\u003e Gaudier Bzreska: A Memoir (1916)\u003cbr\u003e Lustra (1916)\u003cbr\u003e Pavannes and Divisions (1918)\u003cbr\u003e Quia Pauper Amavi (1919)\u003cbr\u003e Instigations (1920)\u003cbr\u003e Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920)\u003cbr\u003e Umbra: The Early Poems of Ezra Pound (1920)\u003cbr\u003e Poems 1918–1921 (1921)\u003cbr\u003e A Draft of XVI Cantos (1925)\u003cbr\u003e Personae: The Collected Poems of Ezra Pound (1926)\u003cbr\u003e A Draft of XXX Cantos (1930)\u003cbr\u003e ABC of Reading (1934)\u003cbr\u003e Make It New (1934)\u003cbr\u003e Eleven New Cantos (1934)\u003cbr\u003e Homage to Sextus Propertius (1934)\u003cbr\u003e Jefferson And\/Or Mussolini (1935)\u003cbr\u003e Polite Essays (1937)\u003cbr\u003e The Fifth Decad of Cantos (1937)\u003cbr\u003e Guide to Kulchur (1938)\u003cbr\u003e Cantos LII-LXXI (1940)\u003cbr\u003e The Pisan Cantos (1948)\u003cbr\u003e The Cantos (1948)\u003cbr\u003e Selected Poems (1949)\u003cbr\u003e Patria Mia (1950)\u003cbr\u003e The Translations of Ezra Pound (1953)\u003cbr\u003e Literary Essays of Ezra Pound (1954)\u003cbr\u003e Section: Rock-Drill (1956)\u003cbr\u003e Thrones: 96-109 de los Cantares (1959)\u003cbr\u003e The Cantos (1-95) (1965)\u003cbr\u003e Drafts and Fragments of Cantos CX-CXVII (1968)\u003cbr\u003e The Cantos of Ezra Pound (1970).\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: fiction, novelists \u0026amp; prose writers [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: fiction, novelists \u0026amp; prose writers\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20fiction,%20novelists%20\u0026amp;%20prose%20writers%20%5BDSK%5D%22\"\u003eDSK\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: poetry \u0026amp; poets [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: poetry \u0026amp; poets\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20poetry%20\u0026amp;%20poets%20%5BDSC%5D%22\"\u003eDSC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46007233708312,"sku":"9780521401395","price":92.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521401395i_d1f43789-046e-4b57-bd9f-8be1c4ec77cc.jpg?v=1691381138","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/ezra-pound-the-contemporary-reviews-hardback-9780521401395","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
