    Mythic Metamorphosis: Re-Shaping Identity in the Works of H.D. Sarah Lewis Mitchem Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Virgin

    Mythic Metamorphosis: Re-shaping Identity in the Works of H.D. Sarah Lewis Mitchem Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Thomas Gardner, Chair Frederick M. D’Aguiar Paul Sorrentino April 13, 2007 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: H.D., Imagism, Mythic Metamorphoses, Asklepios Copyright (Optional) Mythic Metamorphosis: Re-shaping Identity in the Works of H.D. Sarah Lewis Mitchem Abstract In section fifteen of the poem The Walls Do Not Fall author Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) address her audience and articulates the purpose of the poet in the following lines: “we are the keepers of the secret,/ the carriers, the spinners/ of the rare intangible thread/ that binds all humanity/ to ancient wisdom,/ to antiquity;/…every concrete object/ has abstract value, is timeless/ in the dream parallel” (Trilogy 24). H.D. mined her own life for charged relationships which she then, through writing, connected to the mythic characters of antiquity whose tales embodied the same struggles she faced. Reading concrete objects as universal symbols which transcend time, her mind meshed the 20th century with previous cultures to create a nexus where the questions embedded in the human spirit are alive on multiple planes. The purpose of this research project is not to define her works as “successful” or “unsuccessful,” nor to weigh the works against each other in terms of “advancement.” Rather it is to describe the way she manipulates this most reliable of tools, mythic metamorphosis, in works stretching from her early Imagist poetry, through her long poem Trilogy, and finally into her last memoir End To Torment, taking note of the way she uses this tool to form beauty from harsh circumstances and help heal her shattered psyche.

John R O Gery University of New Orleans, USA “THE THOUGHT OF What AMerica”: EZRA POUND’S STRANGE OPTIMISM Abstract Through a reconsideration of Ezra Pound’s early poem “Cantico del Sole” (1918), an apparently satiric look at American culture in the early twentieth century, this essay argues how the poem, in fact, expresses some of the tenets of Pound’s more radical hopes for American culture, both in his unorthodox critiques of the 1930s in ABC of Reading, Jefferson and/or Mussolini, and Guide to Kulchur and, more significantly, in his epic poem, The Cantos. The essay contends that, despite Pound’s controversial economic and political views in his prose (positions which contributed to his arrest for treason in 1945), he is characteristically optimistic about the potential for American culture.

While theorists can usually articulate a defense of a wider approach to literature, they struggle to develop a tangible approach to such an ideal.

  • Ezra Pound and English Romanticism

    Ezra Pound and English Romanticism

    .EZRA POUND AND ENGLISH ROMANTICISM A STUDY IN THE CONCEPT OF TRADITION A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English in the University of Canterbury by J.R.W. Farnsworth University of Canterbury 1976 1 ABSTRACT The thesis sets out to examine Ezra Pound's attitudes to the English Romantic tradition £rom its inception to his own time, with a view to discovering whether or not he looks upon it as a healthy or deere- pit tradition. His attitudes are contrasted with those of his contemporaries in a study o£ three pairs o£ writers; two Romantics, Keats and Byron; two Victo- rians, Tennyson and Browning; and two Moderns, Eliot and Lawrence. By charting the changes in his outlook over his lifetime, a clear split becomes noticeable between the early apprentice poet and the later mature poet-critic interested in disseminating the knowledge and insights he has collected. The considerable de- viance·d£'his bpiniofi fro~ the acc~pted ~ttitudes of the day demonstrates the consistency and independence o£ his own concepts. The conclusion o£ the thesis is that, in finding the English tradition to be decrepit, Pound does not find the cause to lie in Romanticism. Rather, it is caused by a desertion, or ignorance, o£ poetic necessities simi- lar to those emphasised by Pound. In other words, his interpretation o£ literary history is closely tied to, and often stems £rom, his own poetic requirements. 2 CHAPTER I The sheer volume of Pound's writings, and the considerable span of time over which they were produced (more than hal£ a century) makes it impracticable to examine them all in detail.

"EGO, SCRIPTOR CANTILENAE": THE CANTOS AND EZRA POUND An Abstract of a Thesis Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Philosophy Steven R. Gulick University of Northern Iowa August 1991 ABSTRACT Can poetry "make new" the world? Ezra Pound thought so. In "Cantico del Sole" he said: "The thought of what America would be like/ If the Classics had a wide circulation/ Troubles me in my sleep" (Personae 183). He came to write an 815 page poem called The Cantos in which he presents "fragments" drawn from the literature and documents of the past in an attempt to build a new world, "a paradiso terreste" (The Cantos 802). This may be seen as either a noble gesture or sheer egotism. Pound once called The Cantos the "tale of the tribe" (Guide to Kulchur 194), and I believe this is so, particularly if one associates this statement with Allen Ginsberg's concerning The Cantos as a model of a mind, "like all our minds" (Ginsberg 14-16).

    'We Discharge Ourselves on Both Sides': Vorticism: New Perspectives

    ‘We discharge ourselves on both sides’: Vorticism: New Perspectives (A symposium convened October 29-30, 2010, at the Nasher Museum of Duke University, Durham, NC) ________ Michael Valdez Moses The Vorticists: Rebel Artists in London and New York, 1914-1918 , the only major exhibition of Vorticist art to be held in the United States since John Quinn and Ezra Pound organized the first American show of Vorticist art at the Penguin Club of New York in 1917, opened at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University on September 30. Curated by Mark Antliff (Professor of Art History at Duke University) and Vivien Greene (Curator of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City), this major exhibition of England’s only ‘home-grown’ avant-garde art movement brings together many of the works exhibited at the three exhibitions organized by the various members of the Vorticist movement during its brief existence: the first Vorticist exhibition at the Doré Gallery in London in 1915, the 1917 Penguin Club exhibition in New York City, and the exhibition of Alvin Langdon Coburn’s ‘Vortographs’ (Vorticist photographs) held at the London Camera Club in 1917. The Vorticists runs at the Nasher through to the 2 nd of January 2010 before moving to the Guggenheim in Venice and then to Tate Britain. The exhibition displays sculpture, paintings, watercolours, collages, prints, drawings, vortographs, books, and journals produced by a group of artists and writers, including Wyndham Lewis, Jacob Epstein, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, David Bomberg, Lawrence Atkinson, Christopher Nevinson, Edward Wadsworth, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Helen Saunders, Frederick Etchells, Jessica Dismorr, Dorothy Shakespear, William Roberts, and Ezra Pound, who loosely comprised, or were closely associated with, the Vorticist movement that briefly flourished in London and (to a lesser extent) New York in the second decade of the past century.

    MEMORIES ABOUT POUND UDC 821.111 DOI 10.22455/2541-7894-2019-7-186-201 Michael ALEXANDER WHAT EZRA POUND MEANT TO ME Abstract: The memoir about personal meetings with Ezra Pound in Rapallo in 1962 and 1963, at T. S. Eliot’s memorial service in London in 1965, and finally in Venice in the later 1960s, dwells also on the reception of the poet’s work in postwar Britain and in the USA. In the 1960s England largely forgot Pound; his role was historic, his name and his presence faded: in a version of literary history current in British universities in 1960, Ezra Pound figured as “the precursor of Eliot”. In the USA, on the contrary, his breakthrough in modernist poetry as well as his anti-Semitism and admiration for Italian Fascism were well recognized, thanks to the controversy over the award of the Bollingen Prize to Pound’s Pisan Cantos. The memoir shows how a name from literary history becomes a part of personal experience after meeting the man himself, and how it leads to a new understanding of the poet’s legacy – against wider historical, cultural, and literary background. The memoir also provides interesting facts that stimulate reflections on the literary canon, its constant change and flux despite its apparently stable nature. Keywords: memoir, Ezra Pound, T.S.
