Title: Pound, Hemingway, and the Inquest Series
Author/Creator: John Beall
Publication Details: Paideuma: Modern and Contemporary Poetry and Poetics, Vol.44, pp.173-204
Annotation: Reconstructs the complex and interrelated composition and publication of Hemingway s in our time and Pound s A Draft of XVI Cantos (1925). Beall details Pound s supervision and editing of the Inquest series for Three Mountains Press, a project aimed at exploring modernist prose in the wake of Joyce s Ulysses (1922). Drawing on correspondence, biographies, manuscripts, and other sources, Beall speculates on Pound s influence on the young Hemingway s developing modernist aesthetic through his editing of in our time, which appeared as the final volume in the series. Points to Hemingway s extensive revisions of chapter 16, Maera s death narrative, as evidence of Pound s tutelage. Includes a discussion of the publisher s original design plans for the volume s cover and chapters.
