Winner of the Ezra Pound Society Book Prize 2014 Ezra Pound's
sustained use of ancient and medieval philosophical sources,
particularly those within the Neoplatonic tradition, is well known.
Yet the specific influence of the ninth-century theologian Johannes
Scottus Eriugena on Pound's poetry and prose has received limited
scholarly attention. Pound developed detailed plans to publish a
commentary on Eriugena alongside his translations of two of the
books of Confucianism, plans that ultimately went unrealised.
Drawing on unpublished notes, drafts and manuscripts amongst the
Ezra Pound papers held at Yale University, this book investigates
the pivotal role of Eriugena in Pound's thought and, perhaps
surprisingly, in his deployment of non-Western philosophical
traditions.
