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 new strain in Post-Modernist poetry 'Logopoeia - the dance of the intellect among ong>wordsong>', and in this collection of essays, Marjorie Perloff examines this new strain in poetics. These essays focus on the poetry of Swinburne, Yeats, Stevens, Joyce, Williams, Cage, and Pound, among others. Through her analyses, the author traces a new direction in Post-Modernist poetry to Pound, whose legacy is present throughout this volume, even in essays 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 ong>withong> other cultural influences which Perloff identifies, such as the art of the Italian Futurists, lead to a new strain in poetry.
