Culture: The Intellectual Autobiography Of A Poet (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258019051)

Culture: The Intellectual Autobiography Of A Poet is a book written by the renowned American poet Ezra Pound, in which he reflects on his life and artistic development. The book is essentially an intellectual autobiography, in which Pound discusses his early influences, his education, and his experiences as a writer and thinker. Pound was a major figure in the modernist movement of the early 20th century, and his poetry was known for its experimentation with form and language. In Culture, he discusses his ideas about literature, art, and culture, and reflects on the role of the artist in society. The book is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Pound's life and work. The first part deals with Pound's childhood and early education, and his early influences as a writer. The second part discusses his time as a student at the University of Pennsylvania, and his early attempts at writing poetry. The third part focuses on his experiences in London and Paris, where he became involved with the modernist movement and met other writers and artists. The final part of the book is perhaps the most significant, as it deals with Pound's ideas about culture and the role of the artist in society. Here, he discusses his theories about the importance of tradition and the need for artists to engage with the world around them. He also reflects on his own work as a poet, and the ways in which his ideas about culture have influenced his writing. Overall, Culture: The Intellectual Autobiography Of A Poet is a fascinating and insightful book that provides a unique perspective on the life and work of one of the most important poets of the 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in modernist literature, or in the role of the artist in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
