Various Positions

Ezra Pound is one of the most visible and influential poets of the twentieth century. He is also one of the most complex, his poetry containing historical and mythical allusions, experiments of form and style and often controversial political views. Yet Pound's life and work continue to fascinate. This Introduction, first published in 2005, is designed to help students reading Pound for the first time. Pound scholar Ira B. Nadel provides a guide to the rich webs of allusion and stylistic borrowings and innovations in Pound's writing. He offers a clear overview of Pound's life, works, contexts and reception history and his multidimensional career as a poet, translator, critic, editor, anthologist and impresario, a career that placed him at the heart of literary modernism. This invaluable and accessible introduction explains the huge contribution Pound made to the development of modernism in the early twentieth century.

Drawing on a series of new sources, this biography of Ezra Pound - the first to appear in more than a decade - outlines his contribution to modernism through a detailed account of his development, influence and continued significance. It pays special attention to his role in creating Imagism, Vorticism and the modern long poem, as well as his importance for Yeats, Joyce and Eliot. His roles as editor, translator and critic, plus his attempt to complete The Cantos , are also studied.

Toute sa vie, Leonard Cohen a été tellement en avant qu'on croyait qu'il était en arrière. Mais John Hammond, qui repéra un certain jeune Bob, ne s'y est pas trompé, qui dit un jour à Leonard : " You've got it. " Tu l'as. Quoi ? Cette mélodie particulière, cette inflexion inimitable du vrai poète. Parfaitement original et profondément inspiré, Cohen est l'un des rares à n'avoir rien à envier à personne : même l'astre Dylan, justement, lui a tiré son chapeau. Et, de sa part... Alors, l'ayant toujours " eu ", Leonard n'avait pas à être quelque part ; il était là. Voici donc toute sa vie - avec une postface inédite pour faire le point jusqu'à aujourd'hui. La seule biographie complète disponible à ce jour en français.
