Produktbeschreibung
A fierce call to rethink language, art, and culture Ezra Pound s Instigations returns, sharper and more urgent than ever. A vital collection of essays and criticism, Instigations gathers Pound s provocative reflections on literary form, poetic theory, and cultural exchange, culminating in the landmark Essay on the Chinese Written Character. Here Pound moves between blistering literary criticism and lyrical insight, interrogating the mechanics of verse, the responsibilities of modernist literature, and the transformative power of linguistic symbols. Readers will find trenchant essays on translation, analyses of early 20th-century literature, and a pioneering linguistic exploration that links Western poetics to Chinese characters and thought. Historically significant and intellectually daring, this volume shaped modernist debate and influenced generations of poets and critics. Pound s Instigations is essential for students of modernist literature, collectors of literary essays, and anyone fascinated by the meeting of East and West in poetic form. The Essay on the Chinese Written Character remains a touchstone for cultural analysis and studies of Chinese characters in literature. This edition republished by Alpha Editions restores a work that was out of print for decades and renews it for today s and future generations. More than a reprint, this is a collector s item and cultural treasure: carefully restored text, faithful presentation, and designed for preservation. For readers of Ezra Pound essays, literary criticism, and poetic theory, Pound s Instigations is a must-have exploration of language, meaning, and modern art.
