{"product_id":"the-birth-of-modernism-leon-surette-9780773512436","title":"The Birth of Modernism: Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, and the Occult","description":"While W.B. Yeats' occultism has long been acknowledged, Surette is the first to show that Ezra Pound's early intimacy with Yeats was based largely on a shared interest in the occult, and that Pound's The Cantos is a deeply occult work. Surette argues that Pound's editing of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land was not motivated primarily by stylistic concerns, as has generally been contended by the New Critics, but by thematic considerations. In fact, it was precisely because Eliot knew Pound to be well informed about the occult that he asked for Pound's assistance with The Waste Land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leon Surette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773512438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773512436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.02w x 0.85d","brand":"Leon Surette","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44860105031935,"sku":"9780773512436","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bd3fd58-a03e-48e8-a838-e5abcf4cb32f.jpg?v=1709135409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-birth-of-modernism-leon-surette-9780773512436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
