The Dance of the Intellect Studies in the Poetry of the Pound Tradition - Avant-Garde & Modernism Studies Author: Marjorie Perloff Ezra Pound termed a new strain in Post-Modernist poetry 'Logopoeia - the dance of the intellect among words', and in this collection of essays, Marjorie Perloff examines this new strain in poetics. These essays focus on the poetry of Swinburne, Yeats, Stevens, Joyce, Williams, Cage, and Pound, among others. Through her analyses, the author trace...  more »s a new direction in Post-Modernist poetry to Pound, whose legacy is present throughout this volume, even in essays not specifically devoted to him. Professor Perloff finds that the Symbolist elements that Yeats rejected - fragments, purely metrical or visual impressions, and theoretical concepts - became increasingly important to later poets. She also argues that the Romantic and Modernist cult of the personality has given way to a denial of the authoritative ego. These developments, combined with other cultural influences which Perloff identifies, such as the art of the Italian Futurists, lead to a new strain in poetry.  « less Post This Book Login | Register ISBN-13: 9780810113800 ISBN-10: 0810113805 Publication Date: 8/12/1996 Pages: 243 Rating: Currently 0/5 Stars.   ? 0 stars, based on 0 rating Publisher: Northwestern University Press Book Type: Paperback Other Versions: Hardcover Members Wishing: 1 Reviews: Amazon | Write a Review
