{"product_id":"9781472513021","title":"John Kasper and Ezra Pound: Saving the Republic","description":"John Kasper was a militant far-right activist who first came to prominence with his violent campaigns against desegregation in the Civil Rights era. Ezra Pound was the seminal figure in Anglo-American modernist literature and one of the most important poets of the 20th century. This is the first book to comprehensively explore the extensive correspondence - lasting over a decade and numbering hundreds of letters - between the two men.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Kasper and Ezra Pound\u003c\/i\u003e examines the mutual influence the two men exerted on each other in Pound's later life: how John Kasper developed from a devotee of Pound's poetry to an active right-wing agitator; how Pound's own ideas about race and American politics developed in his discussions with Kasper and how this informed his later poetry. Shedding a disturbing new light on Ezra Pound's committed engagement with extreme right-wing politics in Civil Rights-era America, this is an essential read for students of 20th-century literature.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135817793776,"sku":"9781472513021","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472513021_p0.jpg?v=1763598130","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472513021","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
