{"product_id":"stone-cottage-james-longenbach-9780195066623","title":"Stone Cottage: Pound, Yeats, and Modernism","description":"Although readers of modern literature have always known about the collaboration of W.B. Yeats and Ezra Pound, the crucial winters these poets spent living together in Stone Cottage in Sussex (1913-1916) have remained a mystery. Working from a large base of previously unpublished material, James Longenbach presents for the first time the untold story of these three winters. Inside the secret world of Stone Cottage, Pound's Imagist poems were inextricably linked to Yeats's studies in spiritualism and magic, and early drafts of \u003cem\u003eThe Cantos\u003c\/em\u003e reveal that the poem began in response to the same esoteric texts that shaped Yeats's visionary system. At the same time, Yeats's autobiographies and Noh-style plays took shape with Pound's assistance. Having retreated to Sussex to escape the flurry of wartime London, both poets tracked the progress of the Great War and in response wrote poems--some unpublished until now--that directly address the poet's political function. More than the story of a literary friendship, \u003cem\u003eStone Cottage\u003c\/em\u003e explores the Pound-Yeats connection within the larger context of modern literature and culture, illuminating work that ranks with the greatest achievements of modernism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Longenbach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195066626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195066623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.47w x 1.05d","brand":"James Longenbach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896393359615,"sku":"9780195066623","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76ff1c10-d489-494f-8f1f-85959e7b3a2d.jpg?v=1721371276","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stone-cottage-james-longenbach-9780195066623","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
