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.Modernism (Literature)EuropeEuropean literature20th centuryHistory and criticismEuropean literature19th centuryHistory and criticismTheosophy in literatureOccultism in literatureModernism (Literature)European literatureHistory and criticism.European literatureHistory and criticism.Theosophy in literature.Occultism in literature.821/.912091Surette Leon456796MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782081203321The birth of modernism3800902UNINA
