{"product_id":"ezra-pound-and-the-mysteries-of-love","title":"Ezra Pound and the Mysteries of Love","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eFor more than a decade scholars have understood that Ezra Pound employed mystical concepts of love in his writing of \u003ci\u003eThe Cantos.\u003c\/i\u003e In \u003ci\u003eEzra Pound and the Mysteries of Love, \u003c\/i\u003eAkiko Miyake furthers this understanding by looking at \u003ci\u003eThe Cantos\u003c\/i\u003e as a major work in the Christian mystic religious tradition. The author uncovers, in the five volumes of Gabriel Dante Rossetti’s \u003ci\u003eIl mistero dell’amor platonico del medio evo, \u003c\/i\u003ethe crucial link between \u003ci\u003eThe Cantos\u003c\/i\u003e and the traditions of mystical love established by the ancient Greeks at Eleusis and borrowed by the late medieval Italian and Provençal poets.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon this key five-volume work, as well as comprehensive research in both primary and secondary sources, Miyake brings the partial perceptions of other critics and commentators into an illuminating whole. Disclosing the deliberateness of \u003ci\u003eThe Cantos,\u003c\/i\u003e Miyake provides new insight into Pound’s sense of culture and into the nature of his Confucianism. She sheds light on the disastrous path Pound followed into Fascism and anti-Semitism, and, in contrast to the image of a “pagan” Pound that has emerged in recent years, reveals a poet writing as a Christian from within the Christian mythical tradition.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Akiko Miyake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53616227549564,"sku":"9780822311058","price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/missing-cover_7d966821-fe71-42bb-ad3a-d98a08139ebb.jpg?v=1746711629","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/ezra-pound-and-the-mysteries-of-love","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
