Ezra Pound was an influential propagandist for British, Italian and ultimately German fascist movements. Using long-neglected manuscripts and cutting-edge approaches to fascism as a 'political religion', Feldman argues that Pound's case offers a revealing case study of a modernist author turned propagator of the 'fascist faith'.

Report

"It is an invaluable contribution to Pound scholarship, and one that deserves a wide readership ... . Ezra Pound's Fascist Propaganda, 1935-45 is a most valuable and welcome study. ... Ezra Pound's Fascist Propaganda, 1935-45 goes a considerable way towards filling us in on the content and nature of Pound's propaganda work for the BUF, Radio Rome, and the Salò Republic." (Christos Hadjiyiannis, Journal of Modern Literature, Vol. 39 (1), Fall, 2015)
"In a book based on a wide range of archival and published English-language . . . sources . . . the heart of Feldman's case lies in the Second World War and in Pound's numerous broadcasts, whether in his own name or under an array of pseudonyms, including Piero Mazda, Marco Veneziano and Mr Dooley. Here Feldman has unearthed useful information." - Times Higher Education
