“The Coward Surrealists”: Pound and the Death of García Lorca Wayne Pounds That One Poet Should Be Indifferent to the Assa “The Coward Surrealists”: Pound and the Death of García Lorca Wayne Pounds Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo That one poet should be indifferent to the assassination of another presents a puzzle. Pound did know about Lorca's death but refrained from public statement. By the mid 30’s he had come to disdain Spanish literature and to scorn French surrealist poetry. He was working closely with Juan Ramón Masoliver (1910-1997), Rapallo’s resident expert on all things Surrealist but politically pro-Franco. After the War, Masoliver’s attitude changed. Pound’s may have also. That one poet should be indifferent to the assassination of another is something of an enigma and worth pondering. It is but one of several puzzles concerning Pound’s state of mind in the 1930s, as his Modernist privileging of “hardness” evolves from an aesthetic theory into a social one – or perhaps a theory in defense of a social practice – and his enthusiasm for what he took to be Italian Fascism’s support of the arts darkened and petrified into a compartmentalized, paranoid mindset that would make many people, then and later, question his sanity. In this development, his indifference toward the assassination of Federico García Lorca, an event which took place in August of 1936, is of more than casual interest. It should be noted first that Pound saw Lorca as a Surrealist poet – rather than as a dramatist, a ballad writer, or a folklorist, for that is how his Catalan colleague Juan Ramón Masoliver (1910- 1997) saw him. Long before, Pound had lost interest in Spain, and by 1936 what he knew and thought about contemporary Spanish poets came largely from Masoliver. Pound’s indifference did not reflect an evaluation of Lorca’s work, for he had almost certainly not read any substantial amount of it and probably none at all. It reflected his personal attitude toward Spain, and toward Surrealist poetry as he had encountered it among the French; and to a lesser extent it reflected Lorca’s reception in Italy. © Quaderni di Palazzo Serra 29 (2016), 79-93 ISBN 978-88-88626-65-9 ISSN 1970-0571 Wayne Pounds To summarize some well-known episodes, Pound’s knowledge of Spanish language and literature dates from his university years. Two major indications show that this was a genuine enthusiasm: his summer in Spain in 1906 studying the manuscripts of Lope de Vega, and the chapters on Lope and the Poema del Cid in The Spirit of Romance. Since Pound’s judgments are so often influenced by his friendships, it should be noted that one important friendship dates from the summer in Spain but only one. Padre José Elizondo helped him gain access to libraries and is mentioned in The Spirit of Romance, Guide to Kulchur, and Canto 77, and he is quoted in Canto 81 (“Hay aqui much catolicismo... y muy poco reliHion”). The chapter on El Cid is noteworthy for the way Pound evaluates the poem above the Chanson de Roland (66), a judgment he never altered, for El Cid becomes an important figure in The Cantos and Roland does not get mentioned except as an aside in the delirium of Niccolò d’Este in Canto 20. In 1906, Pound’s enthusiasm for El Cid takes him to Burgos, whose cathedral he rates above Nôtre Dame and which becomes the subject of one of his earliest magazine publications, and beyond Burgos he follows El Cid’s trail across Soria to the medieval city of Medinaceli, a magic spot which will return at the end of this essay. A cooling of the romance with Spain occurs between 1906 and 1916. No dramatic events account for it – it may be largely a shift in interest. When he leaves the U.S. again in 1910, he goes to London and Paris, and to Italy, but not to Spain. The subsequent years are those in which he establishes himself in London, and Spain has dropped from his mental map. By 1916 his evaluation of Spain has reached a nadir, as he writes to Alice Corbin Henderson, “Spanish next to nothing since the Poema del Cid” (151). And in the same year, in a letter to Iris Barry: “Spain has one good modern novelist, Galdos. Nothing else”. The advent of the Civil War in July of 1936 brought Pound’s attention back to Spain; only now that attention would be determined by his conversion to economics. Poundians all know that in June of 1937 Nancy Cunard and the Left Review sent a questionnaire to 148 English language authors asking whether they were for or against the legal government and the people of the Spanish Republic, and that 80 Pound and the Death of Lorca only 5 declared for Franco, with 15, including Pound, Eliot and H. G. Wells, declaring themselves indifferent, while everyone else expressed themselves in favor of the Spanish Republic (Hamilton 259). Less widely known is Pound’s precise answer in the letter he wrote Cunard and which she published in December in Authors Take Sides on the Spanish War. The survey clearly had made him angry: “Questionnaire an escape mechanism for young fools who are too cowardly to think; too lazy to investigate the nature of money... Spain is an emotional luxury to a gang of sap-headed dilettantes” (in Carpenter 554). Less known still is the personal letter he sent Cunard: ...I think your gang are all diarohea [sic]. For 15 years I have been telling people to look at the ROOT. Stalin is a gorilla, too stupid to look at money, R [?] Trotsk[y] is not a jew but a kike, a slihtery [sic] mess/... Spain is one barbarism and Russia another... Spain is a nuissance [sic]... Not one of these young squirts knows a damn thing of the fight going on in Italy... No darling, it is ALL bloody tosh. Kikes financing both sides. (Wilhelm 124) In this diatribe is announced Pound’s stock response to Spain throughout the thirties. The war is not about any political principle but about profits – those that munition makers and arms dealers make by supplying both sides and big banks make from financing the whole conflagration. And a war in Spain cannot matter because “Spain is a barbarism” (Kulchur 132), “Europe ends with the Pyrenees” (“Race”, Poetry and Prose 7.103), and wars fought outside Europe are of no interest. One also notes the presence of the word “cowardly” in his first response. It would be useful to know where Pound first picks up this term of abuse. Whatever its provenance, we recognize the coded, obscurantist language of Fascist machismo, for of the group Pound attacks many go to fight for the Republic, while the poet sits safe at home. The heart of the Pound-Lorca matter is to be found in the pages of a short-lived review, and the nearest thing to an “encounter” between Pound and Lorca is to be found in its pages, where both appear in the same issue. Contemporary Poetry and Prose began in 81 Wayne Pounds anticipation of the London International Surrealist Exhibition, which was held from June 11 to July 4, 1936. Its editor was the nineteen year-old Roger Roughton, who would die a suicide in Ireland in 1941. It promoted Surrealism and Marxism, providing a vehicle for translations, a showcase for new English writers, and a platform for revolutionary purposes. The translations are largely from the French, done by the youthful David Gascoyne, also nineteen. The French- language artists included: Bréton, Buñuel, Eluard, Dalì, Péret, Saint- John Perse. Writing in English, George Barker, E.E. Cummings (a frequent contributor), William Empson, David Gascoyne, Roger Roughton, and Dylan Thomas. Spanish is represented by Rafael Alberti, Picasso, and Lorca, and Russian by the lone figure of Isaac Babel, who has three short stories in the year’s run. The occasion of Pound’s letter was Roughton’s lead article in the August-September 1936 issue, “Surrealism and Communism”, which quotes the International Surrealist Bulletin to the effect that “the movement of our government towards Fascism threatens to put a stop to all creative activity”. This is exactly the opposite of Pound’s take on Fascism, or at least on Italian Fascism (but note that Contemporary Poetry and Prose does not discriminate among fascisms, whether German, Italian, or Spanish). Roughton’s main argument is that surrealists and communists should not adulterate “the revolutionary essence” of Communism. Surrealists should help “to establish a broad United Front and not delude themselves [...] into imagining that there is any revolutionary part to be played outside the United Front”. This delusion, he says, “has been quashed [...] by the example of the Spanish civil war”. Thus, no quarrel between surrealism and communism (Contemporary Poetry and Prose 1.75). Pound’s letter in response is a typical performance for these years, a period in which his apparent hostility toward Surrealism had provoked such wonder that he had to explain himself. In a 1931 essay called “After Election”, he did so in these terms: “I am pro- Cocteau for the lucidity of his prose. I am pro-Picabia for the lucidity of his mind. I am pro-Brancusi, I see little else in sculpture now making. I am provisionally pro-Surrealist [...] Naturally, at my age, I think I could have brought up most of these young men better than 82 Pound and the Death of Lorca they have been brought up, but when I look at their elders, the French literati of my own age, I am damn well pro-Surrealist and nothing they do causes me any regret or astonishment” (Poetry and Prose 5.268).

LA PRESENCIA DE ANDALUCÍA EN LA OBRA DE FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA Clara Eugenia Peragón López (Universidad de Córdoba) Resumen: La configuración de un itinerario andaluz a partir de la obra del poeta granadino Federico García Lorca revela una intensa y profunda relación con la ciudad de Granada. Sin embargo, analizando su producción como poeta, prosista y autor dramático podemos apreciar, aunque en menor medida, la importante presencia, no siempre explícita, de otras ciudades y paisajes andaluces que igualmente llegarán a convertirse en entidades poéticas. Por tanto, además de la ya mencionada, y con personalidad propia, irán desfilando por la obra lorquiana las grandes ciudades históricas consagradas tales como Sevilla y Córdoba, sin olvidar la presencia de Jaén, Málaga, Almería y Cádiz. Palabras clave: Federico García Lorca, Andalucía, ciudad, paisaje, poesía, prosa, teatro. Abstratc: The aim of the present paper is to analyze how the work of Federico García Lorca, both his prose and poetry and theater, shows a close and intense relationship between the author and Granada, although in his words we also can find the presence of other landscapes and places of Andalusia, such as Jaén, Málaga, Almería and Cádiz, beside the two great historic cities, Seville and Córdoba, which will become poetic entities. Key words: Federico García Lorca, Andalucía, city, landscape, poetry, prose, theatre. “Viene al mundo en Granada con el `ángel´ andaluz por excelencia: el poético.

  • 1 Writers Working Under Wretched Conditions: Luis Cernuda and The
    Writers working under wretched conditions: Luis Cernuda and the Spanish canon Jordi Larios University of St Andrews With the possible exception of Antonio Machado and Federico García Lorca, Luis Cernuda is the twentieth-century Spanish poet who has attracted most critical attention. The young man from Seville who was upset by the lukewarm reception of his first book of poems, Perfil del aire, in 1927; the virtually unknown Republican exile who came to Britain in 1938, aged 35, without a penny to his name and without any knowledge of English, was to become — after his death in 1963 — one of the most revered Spanish poets of all times. In modern Spanish poetry there is Machado, Lorca and Cernuda, and then there is everyone else. Cernuda’s unassailable position in the canon can hardly be disputed by those who have been exposed to the unrestrained anger, the verbal prowess and the celebration of homosexual desire that characterize his surrealist poems of the late 1920s and early 1930s; or to the more reflective voice that emerges in his exilic poetry, once he had absorbed the lessons of Robert Browning and Alfred Tennyson on the use of the dramatic monologue; or to his ‘Poemas para un cuerpo’, the series of love poems which he wrote late in his rather short life, after falling in love with a young Mexican man, a doomed affair for the sake of which he would give up a comfortable life in the United States, the only decent job he ever had, and the financial security that went with it.

  • This Part of the Jorge Guillen Papers Consists of Working and Clean
    Wellesley College Archives This part of the Jorge Guillen Papers consists of working and clean copies of poetry and prose by Guillen, published copies of his work, and correspondence with members of his family. They were given to Wellesley College by Claudio Guillen and Teresa Gilman in June and November, 1985. Jorge Guillen had grouped and arranged this material, and insofar as has been possible, we retained the arrangement he had given the papers. Folder titles were taken from Jorge Guillen's notes on the original containers. The envelopes and carpeta in which he kept the papers are filed at the beginning of folders containing their contents. Some of the pencil annotations on these envelopes are by Ruth Whittredge, who helped prepare the papers for use by scholars. Much of the arrangement of this portion of the papers reflects when various portions of the papers were published: following materials of a general biographical nature (folder 34) are items (folders 35-61) pertaining to material published in the 1920's [later gathered together and published as Hacia "C~ntico"l, folders 62-78 contain material pertaining to or clean copies of poems from various editions of C~ntico, folders 79-97 have materials published in Clamor, folders 98-117 relate to Homenaje, and folders 118-120 relate to Aire Nuestro. Folders 121-124 deal primarily with the material from Guillen's Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard University (1957-58) later published as Lenguaje y Poesta. Material from a black carpeta labeled "J.G. Escritos varios" (folders 163-166) also pertains to Lenguaje y Poesta.

  • Altolaguirre, Manuel
    Micro biografía descargada de www.todoslosnombres.org Altolaguirre, Manuel Autora: Eva Díaz Pérez (Málaga, 1906-Burgos, 1959) EL NIÑO QUE APRENDIÓ A RECORDAR El poeta malagueño, impulsor de la revista Litoral, tuvo una vida azarosa y novelesca. Escribió unas memorias, El caballo griego, que no concluyó; publicó poemarios como Las islas invitadas, Nube temporal o Poemas de América;escribió obras de teatro;publicó en periódicos; se dedicó al cine, y editó como impresor numerosas publicaciones en todas las épocas de su vida. Todo lo escribió y todo lo recordó. Fue dejándose la vida en los lugares que iba marcando un destino demasiado caprichoso. En su biografía también está el trágico episodio de su estancia en un manicomio al terminar la guerra. Habría que buscar la huella de su memoria en sus escritos y en las marcas de agua de sus papeles, los papeles perdidos de Manuel Altolaguirre, poeta de tintas, de prensas, de tipos. «De niño me enseñaron a recordar». Así comenzaban las memorias inconclusas de Manuel Altolaguirre, otra obra no terminada, interrumpida por la muerte, por otro azar macabro que parecía determinar el curso caprichoso de su vida. ¿Qué recordaría el poeta malagueño en esa carretera lluviosa de Burgos antes de perder la vida? Quizás una mañana en la malagueña calle Strachan, donde nació en 1905; su estancia en un manicomio tras la Guerra Civil al no poder asumir tanto horror, o tal vez evocaría una tarde en el colegio de los Jesuitas de Miraflores del Palo memorizando una lección, porque de pequeño le habían enseñado a recordar... «Morir es ser llanura, un gran rostro impasible, espejo de toda el alma en donde se puede leer toda una vida.

Summerhill Approved By Dr. Elizabeth Davis Dr. Samuel Amell ______________________ Adviser Department of Spanish and Portuguese ABSTRACT After the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), an exceptional group of republican intellectual women chose autobiography as the literary genre that best accomplishes the goal of expressing their experience of exile. Among them, three writers from the so called Edad de Plata stood out to break the silence and isolation of exile and raise their voices: María Zambrano, María Teresa León and Rosa Chacel. They are considered central figures of Spanish Modernism, and the latter two also pertain to the Generación del 27. Their most representative autobiographical works, Delirio y destino, Memoria de la Melancolía and Alcancía, can be classified in three different self writing genres: autobiographical novel, autobiography, and diary, respectively. With a diverse theoretical framework and an interdisciplinary approach, key terms such as ‘‘exile,’’ ‘‘memory,’’ and ‘‘gender’’ are taken as the main concepts that directly affect the writing on issues related to authority, discourse, and the construction of national and self identity. Special attention is paid to time/space frameworks (chronotopes), traumatic memory, rhetoric and discourse strategies of self-representation (body metaphors, chronological gaps, specific themes, etc.). The experience of exile is not only the point of departure and leitmotiv of these texts, but also is the breakpoint that shows, in many different ways, the paradox of unspeakability in the traumatic cultural divisions of twentieth century Spain.

Muerte y soledad en la poesía de Manuel Altolaguirre ante el exilio. Masters of Arts (Spanish), May 2013, 77 pp., bibliography, 28 titles. This study focuses on the Spanish poet of the Generation of '27 Manuel Altolaguirre. The purpose of this thesis is to show how the poetry of Manuel Altolaguirre evolves in relation to specific issues. Specifically, I study the changes in his work in regard to the themes of death and solitude, resulting from exile in 1939, to be enriched by new experiences, many of them dramatic, taking more personal ways, while offering them a more profound and complex and even in regard to the subject of the poet's death comes to contemplate a more positive way. The thesis is divided into five chapters. Following the introduction, the second chapter focuses on Altolaguirre’s biography and the Generation in 1927 while the third focuses and analyzes his poetry before his exile in 1939. The fourth chapter examines his poetry after exile until his death in 1959, while the fifth and last chapter concludes this study.
