Often dismissed as simply 'bad' or 'mad', the nature of Ezra
Pound's fascist propaganda has been much discussed, but far less
well understood to date. In consequence, the extent of Pound's
activism has been wildly underestimated; there are, for example,
thousands of pro-Axis radio items during WWII. These manuscripts,
extending to extensive propaganda strategies and a dozen
pseudonymous names, collectively reveal a modernist author far more
engaged with the Axis war effort than has been previously
acknowledged. Feldman's 'new historicist' approach argues that
Pound was a committed, influential and significant Anglophone
propagandist for Mosley's BUF, Mussolini's Italy and finally,
Hitler's Germany. Through close analysis of historical context and
an approach to Pound's fascist activism through the lens of
'political religions' theory, Ezra Pound' Fascist Propaganda,
1935-1945 challenges conventional wisdom on this canonical
modernist by finding Pound to be a leading propagator of the
'fascist faith'.
