Ezra Pound was deeply engaged with the avant-garde art scene in
London and Paris during the early twentieth century. The effects of
this engagement were not restricted to experiments in poetic form,
however; they directly shaped Pound's social and political thought.
In this book Rebecca Beasley tracks Pound's education in visual
culture in chapters that explore Pound's early poetry in the
context of American aestheticism and middle-class education;
imagism, anarchism and post-impressionist painting; vorticism and
anti-democracy in early drafts of The Cantos; Dadaist conceptual
art, internationalism and Pound's turn to Italian fascism. In
establishing a critical vocabulary profoundly indebted to the
visual arts, Pound laid the basis for a literary modernism that is,
paradoxically, a visual culture. Drawing on unpublished archive
materials and little known magazine contributions, this study makes
an important contribution to our understanding of Pound's
intellectual development and the relationship between modernist
literature and the visual arts.
