The Great War and the language of modernism
In The Great War and the Language of Modernism, Vincent Sherry reopens long unanswered questions regarding the influence of the 1914 war on the verbal experiments of modernist poetry and fiction. Sherry recovers the political discourses of the British campaign and establishes the language to which literary modernism responds with its boldest initiatives. In its wholly new reading of Woolf, Eliot, and Pound, this book restores the historical content and depth of this literature and reveals its most daring import.

One Must Not Go Altogether with the Tide
Nott, who published Jefferson and/or Mussolini (1935), was an interested and encouraging interlocutor for a poet seeking re-invention as an economist and political commentator - someone who sustained Pound as he swam against the tide. Pound's close involvement with his publisher illuminates an important episode in literary modernism as well as for the study of print culture in the interwar period. This edition of the letters retains Pound's idiosyncratic epistolary idiom and analyzes letter-writing as a genre critical to Pound's intellectual and cultural project, capturing Pound as a collaborator at work.

Multidimensional analysis of register variation in English translations of Shijing
This study employs Multidimensional Analysis (MDA) to compare the register of Arthur Waley’s and Ezra Pound’s translations of Shijing , and further explores the factors contributing to their differences. The key findings are as follows: (1) Waley’s translation corresponds to the “involved persuasion” register, characterized by high interactivity and extensive informational elaboration. In contrast, Pound’s translation aligns with the “general narrative exposition” register, emphasizing informativeness and narrativity; (2) The interactivity in Waley’s translation is primarily driven using analytic negation, first-person pronouns, and modal verbs, while the elaboration is attributed to the frequent use of demonstrative pronouns. In contrast, Pound’s translation exhibits strong informativeness due to the frequent use of nouns and prepositional phrases, while its narrativity is shaped by synthetic negation and public verbs; (3) Waley’s approach prioritizes an accurate reflection of ancient Chinese society and the preservation of cultural heterogeneity. In contrast, Pound’s translation focuses on didacticism, emotional energy, and precision. The differences in the translators’ ideologies and poetic philosophies are identified as the primary factors accounting for the register variations in their translations.

The waste land : a biography of a poem
Renowned as one of the world's greatest poems, The Waste Land has been said to describe the moral decay of a world after war and the search for meaning in a meaningless era. It has been labeled the most truthful poem of its time; it has been branded a masterful fake. A century after its publication in 1922, T. S. Eliot's enigmatic masterpiece remains one of the most influential works ever written, and yet one of the most mysterious. In a remarkable feat of biography, Matthew Hollis reconstructs the intellectual creation of the poem and brings the material reality of its charged times vividly to life. Presenting a mosaic of historical fragments, diaries, dynamic literary criticism, and illuminating new research, he reveals the cultural and personal trauma that forged The Waste Land through the lives of its protagonists--of Ezra Pound, who edited it; of Vivien Eliot, who sustained it; and of T. S. Eliot himself, whose private torment is woven into the seams of the work. The result is an unforgettable story of lives passing in opposing directions and the astounding literary legacy they would leave behind.
BOOK
A Companion to Ezra Pound's Economics
The aim of the anthology is to question the poetic dimension of Pound's economics and to render it accessible for the study and understanding of economics as such. As A. David Moody argues in his exemplary contribution, when Pound affirmethat poets ought to occupy themselves with economic matters, he meant \"that they should do so as poets, that is, in their poetry\". A firststep towards the realization of what Pound claimed to be a genuine poetic responsibility and an ineluctable artistic obligation is to take a constitutive stance within the realm of economic issues, suspending the common practice of building on consolidated concepts and models that are taken for granted, and applied uncritically to what is assumed to be economic reality. Therefore, the poetic di-mension of Pound's economic thinking, generating the groundwork for a new approach to economics, is discussed in the contributions to this anthology. Furthermore, Pound's work is remembered as a contribution to economics in its own right. For the present Pound's economics is for-gotten – not in that it is not discussed but in that the discussion about it, carried out by economists as well as by other scholars, is firstand foremost based on the said consolidated concepts and models. It then seems to be incomprehensible, unintelligible, hermetic, incongruent, heretical. For that reason its original trait, its source character, remains concealed for now.
