Unlike other biographical portraits of Ezra Pound, John Tytell's brilliant and ambitious work offers an interpretive study that boldly confronts the emotional truths and psychological drama that formed this complex and controversial American poet. Neither an apology nor a condemnation, it presents instead a meticulous exploration into the mind and vision of a man who galvanized a generation and challenged an entire literary--and world--establishment. Although he enjoyed little fame in his lifetime, Pound's notoriety and influence were enormous, as he arrogantly slashed away at convention and almost single-handedly brought about the twentieth-century revolution in poetry known as modernism. Ultimately, outrage and scandal turned his art to madness, and Pound's last years saw him fall tragically silent. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Just before the holidays I bought a stack of copies of this less than regal biography in an ongoing attempt to keep a reading group afloat. We all are good friends, yet we all have lives and egos; social media has afforded all the willing a platform and thus an online reading group appears as it is: so 1999.
John Tytell appears to have a cut and pasted a modestly comprehensive view of this divisive literary figure. There is no speculation about Pound's eccentric behavior, his contradictions and his beaming generosity. There is really no life in this portrait, just a list of names and an a exhaustive bibliography. This is likely closer to a 2 star text, though I did glean benefit from those who orbited in wonky arabesques of influence from St. Ezra the Blackshirt. ( )
