Showcases Ezra Pound's close involvement with the arts throughout
his career The present volume of new, interdisciplinary scholarship
investigates the arts with which Pound had a lifelong interaction
including architecture, ballet, cinema, music, painting,
photography and sculpture. Divided into 5 historically and
thematically arranged sections, the 28 chapters foreground the
shifting significance of art forms throughout Pound's life which he
spent in London, Paris, Rapallo and Washington. The Companion maps
Pound's practices of engagement with the arts, deepening areas of
study that have recently emerged, such as his musical compositions.
At the same time, it opens up new fields, particularly Pound's
interaction with the performing arts: opera, dance, and cinema. The
volume demonstrates overall that Ezra Pound was no mere spectator
of the modernist revolution in the arts; rather he was an agent of
change, a doer and promoter who also had a deep emotional response
to the arts. Key Features: The first book to gather together all
the different aspects of the subject of Pound and the arts Chapters
are devoted to topics never covered before: (cinema; political
anarchism; early music; Agnes Bedford; the artists Munch, Lekakis,
Martinelli, Frampton) Presents the ways Pound's interests and
activities in the arts change over time in a continuous story, from
his beginnings to his old age Includes portraits of friendships and
short biographies of artists connected to Pound, showing his
personal impact in the arts world
