Ezra Pound was the seminal figure in Anglo-American modernist literature and one of the most important poets of the 20th century. This is the first book to comprehensively explore the extensive correspondence - lasting over a decade and numbering hundreds of letters - between the two men. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Kasper and Ezra Pound\u003c\/i\u003e examines the mutual influence the two men exerted on each other in Pound's later life: how John Kasper developed from a devotee of Pound's poetry to an active right-wing agitator; how Pound's own ideas about race and American politics developed in his discussions with Kasper and how this informed his later poetry. Shedding a disturbing new light on Ezra Pound's committed engagement with extreme right-wing politics in Civil Rights-era America, this is an essential read for students of 20th-century literature.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45084633333911,"sku":"9781472508867","price":16502.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472508867.webp?v=1767142751","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/john-kasper-and-ezra-pound-saving-the-republic-9781472508867","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
