The Dance of the Intellect: Studies in Poetry of the Pound

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Perloff, Marjorie / Gelpi, Albert / Posnock, Ross, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Ezra Pound termed a ong>newong> strain in Post-Modernist poetry 'Logopoeia - the dance of the intellect among words', and in this collection of ong>essaysong>, Marjorie Perloff examines this ong>newong> strain in poetics. These ong>essaysong> focus on the poetry of Swinburne, Yeats, Stevens, Joyce, Williams, Cage, and Pound, among others. Through her analyses, the author traces a ong>newong> direction in Post-Modernist poetry to Pound, whose legacy is present throughout this volume, even in ong>essaysong> not specifically devoted to him. Professor Perloff finds that the Symbolist elements that Yeats rejected - fragments, purely metrical or visual impressions, and theoretical concepts - became increasingly important to later poets. She also argues that the Romantic and Modernist cult of the personality has given way to a denial of the authoritative ego. These developments, combined with other cultural influences which Perloff identifies, such as the art of the Italian Futurists, lead to a ong>newong> strain in poetry.
