Marsh locates Pound and Williams firmly in the Jeffersonian tradition and examines their epic poems as manifestations of a Jeffersonian ideology in modernist terms. The modernist poets William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound were latter-day Jeffersonians whose politics and poetry were strongly marked by the populism of the late 19th century. They were sharply aware of the social contradictions of modernization and were committed to a highly politicized, often polemical poetry that criticized finance capitalism and its institutions--notCapitalism and literatureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAmerican poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismModernism (Literature)United StatesEconomics in literatureMoney in literatureCapitalism and literatureHistoryAmerican poetryHistory and criticism.Modernism (Literature)Economics in literature.Money in literature.811/.5209358Marsh Alec1953-1490349MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791972703321Money and modernity3711698UNINA
