What were Pound's stylistic and

ideological ties to Yeats, Rosetti ,

and other poets of the 1890's?
What use did Pound make of

their images and verbal
techniques to produce a poetry
that was intensely subjective
and much more spiritually
adventuresome than theirs? How
do Pound's theories about the
Provenc;al and Tuscan poets
illustrate the nature of his own
work? I s Pound's alleged debt to
Browning, T. E. Hulme, and
Henri Bergson as great as has
been assumed?
In this close study of the
thematic and technical
characteristics of Ezra Pound's
early poetry, Mr. Jackson
shows how the concerns that
marked Pound's first books
remain important even in his
most recent efforts.
