- W13740632 abstract "This thesis identifies science as Ezra Pound’s first extended extra-poetic interest.This reference to science in Pound’s poetic theory and poetry is portrayed as rhetoric, withits emphasis on the linguistic signifier or word rather than the actual concepts and data ofscience. The material covers over two decades between 1901, when Pound entereduniversity, and 1922, after he left London. Beginning with Pound’s exposure to philology,the thesis establishes a correlation between his educational background and his use ofscientific rhetoric in his prose. As he attempted to establish a professional status for thepoet, he used metaphors linking literature to the natural sciences and comparisons betweenthe poet and the scientist. Additionally, Pound attempted to organize poetic movements thatresembled the professional scientific organizations that were beginning to form in America.In his writings promoting these movements, Pound developed a hygienic theory of poetry—itself an extensive rhetorical project—which produced a clean, bare poem and further linkedPound’s poetic output with the sciences. Beyond his rhetorical use of science, Poundattempted to study the sciences and even adopted a doctor persona for his friends withillnesses—both diagnosing and prescribing cures. When Pound was planning to leaveLondon, he also considered entering medical school—a biographical fact to which Poundscholarship has paid little attention. His decision not to formally study the sciencesreinforced his identity as a poet and his representations of scientific knowledge as mererhetoric. This interest in the sciences, and medicine in particular, influenced Pound’s poetryand prose because of their frequent references and their alignment with literature.Additionally, this early use of rhetoric and an exploration into extra-poetic materialsprepares Pound for his later, better-known and often infamous explorations of economicsand social theory." @default.
