An extensively annotated edition of Ezra Pound's Chinese translations in Cathay (1915) and Lustra (1916), complete with manuscript sources and the Chinese originals and Pound's article Chinese Poetry. Filled out by essays by Haun Saussy, Christopher Bush, and Timothy Billings, this edition resituates Cathay as a project of poetry in circulation and a work of World Literature.

Rummaging through his papers in 1958, Ezra Pound came across a cache of notebooks dating back to the summer of 1912, when as a young man he had walked the troubadour landscape of southern France. Pound had been fascinated with the poetry of medieval Provence since his college days. His experiments with the complex lyric forms of Arnaut Daniel, Bertran de Born, and others were included in his earliest books of poems; his scholarly pursuits in the field found their way into The Spirit of Romance (1910); and the troubadour mystique was to become a resonant motif of the Cantos. In the course of transcribing and emending the text of "Walking Tour 1912," editor Richard Sieburth retraced Pound's footsteps along the roads to the troubadour castles. "What this peripatetic editing process...revealed," he writes, "was a remarkably readable account of a journey in search of the vanished voices of Provence that at the same time chronicled Pound's gradual discovery of himself as a modernist poet...."

If the invention of literary modernism is usually attributed to Joyce, Eliot and Pound, it was Pound's personality and position in the artistic world that enabled the experiment to transform itself into an international movement. schovat popis

This collection of essays, edited by Pound's friend and fellow poet T.S. Eliot, contains essays from five earlier volumes: Pavannes and Divisions (1918), Instigations(1920), How to Read(1931), Make it New(1934), and Polite Essays(1937). The thirty-three essays contained in this collection are separated into three categories: The Art of Poetry, The Tradition, and Contemporaries. These essays showcase the range of Pound's interests, with topics ranging from modernist poetry to Japanese iconography, troubadour songs, and much more. Pound's influence on the modernist movement and literature as a whole makes this collection an important piece of literary history. With an introduction by T.S. Eliot.

Ezra Pound has been called "the inventor of modern poetry in English." The verse and criticism which he produced during the early years of the twentieth century very largely determined the directions of creative writing in our time; and virtually every major poet in England and America today has acknowledged his help or influence. Pound's lyric genius, his superb technique, and his fresh insight into literary problems make him one of the small company of men who through the centuries have kept poetry alive, and one of the great innovators.This book offers a compact yet representative selection of Ezra Pound's poems and translations. The span covered is Pound's entire writing career, from his early lyrics and the translations of Provençal songs to his English version of Sophocles' Trachiniae. Included are parts of his best known works—the Chinese translations, the sequence called Hugh Selwyn Mauberly, the Homage to Sextus Propertius. The Cantos, Pound's major epic, are presented in generous selections, chosen to emphasize the main themes of the whole poem.

Das Jahrhundertwerk erstmals vollständig auf Deutsch: Von der einzigartigen Pound-Spezialistin Eva Hesse übertragen und von den Literaturwissenschaftlern Heinz Ickstadt und Manfred Pfister sorgfältig ediert und kommentiert, ist diese zweisprachige Ausgabe eine publizistische Sensation. 'Ich halte die Cantos für komisch, aufregend, aufreizend, zart bis an die Grenze des Erträglichen, dogmatisch über alle Maßen, herausgeschrieen, gemurmelt, geflüstert, gesungen, wahr, falsch und querköpfig, schön, hässlich, handgefertigt, zuversichtlich, widersprüchlich, am Rande des Zusammenbruchs – kurz, für ganz und gar menschlich, lebendig und relevant.', schreibt die englische Autorin und Kritikerin Christine Brooke-Rose. 'In meinem Urteil ist Ezra Pound einer der größten Dichter, die je gelebt haben.' Ernest Hemingway

This edition includes a representative group of early shorter poems, much of Pound's major work and a selection from the Cantos.
