The Ezra Pound Papers document the life, career, and literary, political and economic views of the American poet Ezra Pound. The papers, which consist primarily of correspondence and manuscripts, span the dates 1868-1976, but the bulk of the material covers the years 1918-1960. Correspondents include many of the major figures of 20th century literature, including Richard Aldington, Natalie Barney, Sylvia Beach, Basil Bunting, Jean Cocteau, E. E. Cummings, H.D., T. S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, James Laughlin, Wyndham Lewis, Archibald Macleish, Marianne Moore, H. L. Mencken, John Quinn, William Carlos Williams, W. B. Yeats, and Louis Zukofsky. Their letters are frequently accompanied by Pound’s retained carbons and drafts. The collection also contains manuscripts of many of Pound’s works, including "A Lume Spento," "The Cantos," "The Confucian Odes," and his World War II radio broadcasts. Currently, only a portion of the Ezra Pound Papers are available in digital form.
