Approaches to Teaching Pound’s Poetry and Prose [EPUB ebook] 

Known for his maxim "Make it new, " Ezra Pound played a principal role in shaping the modernist movement as a poet, translator, and literary critic. His works, with their complex structures and layered allusions, remain widely taught. Yet his known fascism, anti-Semitism, and misogyny raise issues about dangerous ideologies that influenced his work and that must be addressed in the classroom.The first section, "Materials, " catalogs the print and digital editions of Pound’s works, evaluates numerous secondary sources, and provides a history of Pound’s critical contexts. The essays in the second section, "Approaches, " offer strategies for guiding students toward a clearer understanding of Pound’s difficult works and the context in which they were written.
