Twentieth Century American Poetry — [up]

Course Description: The course (seminar, 2 hrs/wk) intends to examine the beginnings of twentieth century American poetry through the poetry and the letters of Ezra Pound. The Cantos will have a central place in the discussions, and Pound's correspondence will be used to obtain inside information on the poetry. Some of the correspondence to be used is still manuscript material. The topics to be discussed will include: — Pound's medievalism, early poetry; — Imagism & Vorticism; — Pound and The Little Review; — the ideogrammic method; — The Cantos and Ulysses; — The Cantos and The Waste Land; — The Cantos and Paterson; — Pound and Zukofsky [See in Hungarian, Louis Zukofsky—Hugh Kenner: "Brooklyni szerelem." Pompeji 1993/1-2. 299-310.]; — Pound, Olson and Ginsberg.
Assignments will include short introductions by students to the topic under discussion prepared with the help of additional literature. The participants will be expected to submit by Monday, December 5, a 15-page long end-term paper on any aspect of the subjects discussed. The proceedings of each class will be recorded by a participant and approved of at the next meeting. The introduction (at least one) and the end-term paper are preconditions for grading. Grading will be based on classroom activity (40%), the introduction (30%), and the end-term paper (30%).

Translating Ezra Pound
(Workshop seminar) — [up]

Spring 2000
Novák György & Péti Miklós
2nd-5th-year GB, US, 2YU
Lit/hist/cult. | optional, seminar

Description: The aim of the course is to discuss in depth and in the process translate into Hungarian some of the important prose works of Ezra Pound, who was not only a founder of the Modernist movement in poetry, an alleged traitor to the United States of America, but as a disciple of Flaubert, H. James and a friend of F.M. Ford and Joyce, wrote important and fascinating prose as well. The choice of essays for the seminar displays a wide range of topics from politics through American history to lierary criticism and economy. Pound's prose is almost totally absent from the Hungarian literarty and critical scene and discourses, thus the course will have a missionary aspect as well, framing a representative selection or a canon of these works for a prospective publication.

Assignments: Translations and their critique will be done every week. Copies of the efforts will be distributed among the participants by the translators and the translations discussed in class. Participants should be prepared to pay for the xeroxed copies.

Grading will be based on the contribution to the discussions in class (50%), and on the quality and the improvement of the translations during the semester (50%). The workload of 4th year participants will be twice as much as that of third year students. Since class activity will be vital to the success of the course, participant should be prepared that no more than one absence on whatever excuse will be allowed. The course will not take more than 12 participants.

Prerequisites: JATE AE1 or 2; one course in literature; preferably another in translation.

The essays to be translated:

Tentative schedule:

0 Organization;
1. A Retrospect [12];
2. Ulysses + T.S. Eliot [7+5];
3-4. I Gather the Limbs of Osiris [23];
5-6. Notes on Elizabethan Classicists [22];
7. The Serious Artist [17];
8. For a New Paideuma [6];
9-10. The Jefferson-Adams Letters as a Shrine and a Monument [12];
10-11. Prefatio Aut Cimicium Tumulus [12];
12-13. Conclusions

 

 

 

Pound/Por: Reading and Editing the Correspondence
lit, cult/hist 2-5, PhD, sem, ENG, US, 2YP
Thursday, 8-10, American Seminar. Novák György

The course offers an insight into the life and work of Ezra Pound by taking the above mentioned correspondece and preparing it for publication. This will involve reading, typing, interpreting and annotating the letters. In the process, the participants will learn about literature, economics, politics, history and will hopefully acquire methodological skills in editing as well. The participants will have to prepare (type and format) individually twenty pages of letters, complete with the required annotations to the appropriate elements in the texts by the end of the term. The course will conclude with an end-term test based on the material discussed during the term. Workload for 4-5th-year and PhD students will be twice as much (forty pages) as that for 2-3rd-years. PhD students will be required to produce an essay of 15-18.000 characters by the end of the term on any aspect of the work done.
Grading will take into account

  1. presence (-10% for each class missed)
  2. and activity in class (25%),
  3. the end term test (25%),
  4. the finally edited letters (50%).
