This collection offers for the first time criticism, biographical essays, analysis, translation studies, and reminiscences of Ezra Pound's extensive interaction with Spain and Spanish culture, from his earliest visits to Spain in 1902 and 1906 and his study of significant Spanish writers to the dedication of the first monument erected anywhere to Pound in the small Spanish village of Medinaceli in 1973. Divided into two sections, Part One: "ON EZRA POUND AND THE SPANISH WORLD" includes a general introduction on Pound's lifelong involvement with Spain, together with chapters on Pound's study of classical Spanish literature, the Spanish dimension in The Cantos, Pound's contemporary Spanish connections, and his legacy in contemporary Spanish letters. Part Two: "EZRA POUND AND THE SPANISH WORLD: A READER," then gathers for the first time Pound's own writings (postcards, letters, and essays) concerning Spain and Spanish writers, as well as his correspondence with Spanish poets Miguel de Unamuno and Juan Ramón Jiménez and with José Vázquez Amaral, the first Spanish translator of The Cantos in its entirety. The volume includes reminiscences by Spanish Novísimos poets, Antonio Colinas and Jaime Siles, written explicitly for this collection. Besides providing a thorough exploration into Pound's engagement with Spain, this volume pays homage to Pound's considerable influence on Spanish culture.
