The Spirit Of Romance

- An Attempt To Define Somewhat The Charm Of The Pre-Renaissance Literature Of Latin Europe (1910)

Bag om The Spirit Of Romance

The Spirit of Romance is a literary analysis and critical study by Ezra Pound, first published in 1910. The book explores the charm and allure of pre-Renaissance literature in Latin Europe, particularly the works of poets such as Arnaut Daniel, Guido Cavalcanti, and Dante Alighieri. Pound argues that these poets embodied a unique spirit of romance, characterized by a sense of adventure, chivalry, and idealism. He examines the themes, techniques, and historical context of their work, drawing on his own extensive knowledge of classical and medieval literature. The book is considered a seminal work of literary criticism and a major influence on the modernist movement in poetry. It is written in Pound's distinctive, idiosyncratic style, full of allusions, references, and unconventional syntax. The Spirit of Romance remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval and Renaissance literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
