Ezra Pound's Green World

Walter Baumann Caterina Ricciardi

Nature, Landscape and Language

This book brings to the fore much new work on this key area of Pound’s endeavours and interests, and on the social, political, and philosophical implications of his works. They also deal with his interests in Chinese virtues, Egyptian hieroglyphs and autobiographical myths, where he combined his appreciation of both the Green World and the arts.
