Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2001.
Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : What are the relations between Ezra Pound’s poetic work and his political project? Beyond genetic criticism and the detailed search for intertexts, this article unfolds the growth of a diverse mysticism in the early poems and defines the poetic issues that coalesce in the Cantos: the poet as a guide and the poem as dogma. It also broadens the political debate to show that Pound’s fascism and anti-Semitism are the corollaries of an Apocalyptic vision subverted by the postponement of Millennium. Pound’s paradise is, in an ambivalent way, aesthetic promise and political threat.
