Winter Love: Ezra Pound and H.D

An illuminating comparative study of Ezra Pound and Hilda Doolittle--their love, friendship, and artistic dialogue Ezra Pound and H.D. are among the most important American modernist poets. In this comparative study, Jacob Korg examines their intertwined lives, from an early romantic relationship when both writers were in their early twenties, through the ongoing friendship, rivalry, and artistic dialogue that helped shape their work. Drawing on unpublished letters and manuscripts as well as published works, Korg offers a fresh view of two American artists and a wholly unexpected portrait of Pound--examined here, for the first time, through the context of a female modernist.

Jacob Korg is professor emeritus of English at the University of Washington.
