BK. Ezra Pound

69. To Louis Untermeyer, 8 January 1914. In EP to LU: Nine Letters Written to Louis Untermeyer by Ezra Pound, edited by J. A. Robbins. Bloomington: Indiana UP, 1963.

Includes Pound’s second reference in the published record to the Fenollosa manuscripts (see 59a for the first, of twenty days earlier): ‘I’ve come in for Fenollosa’s very valuable mss. on the Japanese “Noh” plays & the Chinese Lyric. I suppose I’ll have the first paper on same in the “Quarterly Review” for about May’. In fact, Pound’s first publication of material from the manuscripts was in Poetry in May (see 8); a larger selection appeared in the Quarterly Review the following October (see 13).
