Reviews
"No one else has offered so detailed an account of the inner history of New Directions. . . . To be singled out for special mention is the blow-by-blow description of the tussle over the preparation of Pound's Selected Poems. . . . This book is a distinguished contribution to the small but rapidly growing number of studies of the interaction of publishers, authors, and the literary marketplace."--Barry Ahearn, editor of Pound/Cummings: The Correspondence of Ezra Pound and E. E. Cummings"Barnhisel's most valuable contribution is an account of New Directions' marketing of Pound, as well as the larger history of this important press and its contribution to Pound's reputation. The discussion of James Laughlin is most important--the role of this major figure in the history of modernism has barely been documented."--Christopher MacGowan, editor of The Collected Poems of William Carlos Williams"Barnhisel's interpretation adds considerable value to the retelling of this important chapter in U.S. literary history because of his meticulous archival research. . . . James Laughlin, New Directions , and the Remaking of Ezra Pound is a major achievement."--Modernism"Barnhisel recounts the personal and professional relationship between Pound and his loyal publisher, demonstrating throughout how literary modernism was inextricably bound up with and produced through commercial imperatives and the dictates of a market economy."--American Literature, "No one else has offered so detailed an account of the inner history of New Directions. . . .

Synopsis
Although James Laughlin (1914-1997) came from one of Pittsburgh's leading steel-making families, his passions were literary rather than industrial--he wanted to be a poet. Laughlin was a freshman at Harvard when he traveled to Rapallo, Italy, in 1933 to meet Ezra Pound (1885-1972), and he returned the following year to enroll in the poet's "Ezuversity." Pound dismissed Laughlin's poetic talents, advising the wealthy young man to make himself over into a publisher. Laughlin did just that, founding New Directions Press in 1936. For much of the 1930s prior to World War II, Laughlin and Pound were friends, business associates, collaborators, student and teacher, and even at times son and surrogate father. But Laughlin's investment in Pound--and their friendship--was severely tested by Pound's wartime propaganda broadcasts for Italian state radio, his capture and abortive trial for treason, and his thirteen-year stay as a mental patient in St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Following this scandal and disgrace, the reading public no longer wanted to buy Pound's books, and the critical establishment dismissed him as a Fascist crank. Laughlin and New Directions responded by marketing Pound in such a way as to convince consumers that the poet's importance needed to be judged solely on aesthetic grounds, and that his political beliefs were irrelevant to his accomplishments as a pioneering literary artist. With Pound's encouragement, and despite the poet's oft-expressed opposition to the mixture of commerce and art, Laughlin used such marketing tools as advertising, the cultivation of friendly critics, and the development of the trade paperback to enhance Pound's reputation. Drawing on a wide range of sources--including interviews with Laughlin and other New Directions staffers and published materials from numerous literary archives--Gregory Barnhisel tells the story of the personal and professional relationship between one of the twentieth century's most controversial writers and his loyal and innovative American publisher--a relationship that eventually helped remake literary history and continues to shape our understanding of modernism itself, Although James Laughlin (1914-1997) came from one of Pittsburgh's leading steel-making families, his passions were literary rather than industrial - he wanted to be a poet.

- c***a (121)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!
- m***4 (1609)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufLeaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
