STUDIES IN AMERICAN AND BRITISH MODERNIST POETRY

CHENG MING: A NEW PAIDEUMA

"Frobenius uses the term Paideuma for the tangle or complex of the inrooted ideas of any period. . . . I shall use Paideuma for the gristly roots of ideas that are in action." --Ezra Pound

"Paideuma is the ideal vehicle for the ongoing specialized study of Ezra Pound which is so badly needed. All his life, Pound insisted on the importance of a 'place where people could communicate' and this is what the magazine is accomplishing for scholars all over the world who are concentrating on his works. The editors have already demonstrated an admirable willingness to give hospitality to conflicting points of view." --James Laughlin

Paideuma: A Journal Devoted to Ezra Pound Scholarship has expanded its scope to include scholarship on Modernist poetry in English. The original Paideuma was published under the editorship of Carroll F. Terrell by the National Poetry Foundation in 1972. It has earned NPF international renown as the foremost publisher of scholarly work on Ezra Pound and the Pound tradition. The new Paideuma: Studies in American and British Modernist Poetry will extend the purview of the original journal and will allow NPF to serve its expanding mission.

The inaugural volume of Paideuma: Studies in American and British Modernist Poetry contains a variety of compelling essays meant to reflect the state of Modernist studies in 2003. These articles should initiate a discussion of the state of Modernist studies, Modernist poets, and approaches to Modernist poetry and poetics that we hope will continue in future issues.

Contributors are asked to document their manuscripts with a "Works Cited" list plus parenthetical internal references. (Footnotes should be used only for substantive information.)
