Stone Cottage

Ezra Pound and W.B. Yeats spent the winters of 1913-16 living together in a Cottage in Sussex. During that period Yeats with Pound''s help developed his autobiographies and Noh-style plays. Pound similarly under Yeats''s influence experimented with esoteric texts in the development of his own Imagistic theory. Drawing on extensive literary scholarship and previously unpublished work by Pound and Yeats Longenbach''s book breaks new ground in the study of this critical period in the rise of Modernism.
