Ezra Pound collection, 1911-1920.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173863170

The Ezra Pound collection consists of ten letters written by Pound to the art patron and collector John Quinn between 1915 and 1920. Most of these letters relate to Quinn's own collecting or to Quinn's and Pound's shared literary interests. Among the subjects discussed are James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, Maud Gonne, and Pound's own literary activities. The collection also includes a manuscript attributed to Lennox Robinson which describes the Pound/Quinn correspondence and a broadside from 1911 announcing a series of lectures to be given by Pound on the subject of medieval poetry. W.B. Yeats is listed as the chair of the third of these meetings.
