Ezra Pound transformed his style of poetry when he wrote The Adams
Cantos in the 1920s. But what caused him to rethink his earlier
writing techniques? Grounded in archival material, this study
explores the extent to which Pound's poetry changed in response to
his reading of 17th-century American History and the social climate
of the pre-war period. Drawing on the Ezra Pound papers, David Ten
Eyck documents the changes to Pound's documentary techniques,
establishing a chronology of the composition of The Cantos. His
close readings of specific passages, set against the interwar
years, allow Ten Eyck to gain insights into Pound's 1930s political
and social criticism. Through references to the annotated copy of
The Works of John Adams, he explores Pound's engagement with Adams
at the expense of Thomas Jefferson: a figure formally at the heart
of his previous work. Ultimately, this contextual and archival
study uses John Adams and America to unlock the fascist beliefs and
the later poetry of Ezra Pound.
