In this book, Tim Redman draws from previously unexamined and unpublished archival material, to provide the first detailed and historical account of Pound's support for Italian fascism. Beginning with Pound's earliest political journalism for the socialist paper The New Age during the First World War, the book traces Pound's growing interest in the economic theories of C. H. Douglas and Silvio Gesell, his move to Italy, his meeting with Mussolini, and his increasing activity as an apologist and propagandist for the Italian fascist regime up to the time of his arrest. This fascinating account of Ezra Pound and Italian Fascism allows the reader to understand the causes and results of Pound's ideology and actions as well as the broader implications they have for the poetry and politics of this century. 580 The Roger Griffin ComFas Collection 600 10 Pound, Ezra, |d1885-1972 |xPolitical and social views. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |zItaly |xLiterature and the war. 650 0 Fascism and literature |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Fascism |zItaly |xHistory |y20th century. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6811_000000000000000__52_RED |70 |8GEN |9160996OSA |bOSA |d2022-11-18 |eComFas |l0 |o811/.52 RED |r2022-11-18 |w2022-11-18 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 BY1l3yX4 992 01 811_000000000000000__52_RED |bRYY_ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ__UX_8LM 966 |cIn the Research Room
