Jefferson and or Mussolini
Pound's 1933 case that Jefferson and Mussolini were running the same play with different names. Read as literature it's a mess, mostly worth it as a document: modernism's most famous poet putting his fascist sympathies on paper in his own words, years before the worst of it landed. Not a recommendation of the politics, a primary source on how a brilliant mind talked itself into them.
How it works
Huzzah picks one book a week and writes a line or two on why. left917 runs it here and links
readers to Huzzah to buy it. No money changes hands, no commission, no ads. Just one local
shop's shelf, on the dial. Want to be the voice of this page?
