 Intimate Circles | Olga Rudge
A talented and successful musician and music historian, Olga Rudge was born in Ohio but from the age of ten was raised in Europe, where she studied violin in London and Paris.
Rudge was already well established on the European concert scene as an excellent violinist when she met Ezra Pound in 1923 at the Paris salon of Natalie Clifford Barney; this meeting began a nearly fifty-year-long creative and romantic partnership between the two.
Rudge remained loyal to Pound throughout his controversial trial for treason and his subsequent incarceration in a mental institution; after his death, she devoted herself to promoting the poet’s legacy by assisting scholars, organizing exhibitions, and attempting to establish memorials to him and his work.

 Amazon.ca: Olga Rudge & Ezra Pound : "What Thou Lovest Well . . .": Books: Anne Conover   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Olga Rudge and Ezra Pound: "What Thou Lovest Well" documents the whole of Rudge's long life (1895-1996), with emphasis on all things Ezra.
The work covers Rudge's development as a violinist, her important Vivaldi studies, and her role as librarian-secretary at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana but only as filler between discussions of her meetings with Pound.
Anne Conover's biography of Olga Rudge and Ezra Pound is nearly incomprehensible in three or four languages.

 Olga can get him to eat; I can't | MetaFilter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Pound maintained a complicated and delicate balance between the two most significant women in his life, Olga and his wife Dorothy Shakespear (who, among other things, was the daughter of Yeats's mistress).
But a) Olga Rudge had a career separate from her relationship with Pound, unlike Vera Nabokov, and b) Pound is one of the most frequently written-about writers in English.
Rudge's accomplishments were in a completely different field, and her suggesting that Pound's accomplishments in writing somehow negated or trumped her accomplishments in music doesn't feel like a reasonable or healthy point of view to me.

 BiblioVault
A loving and admiring companion for half a century to literary titan Ezra Pound, concert violinist Olga Rudge was the muse who inspired the poet to complete his epic poem, The Cantos, and the mother of his only daughter, Mary.
Conover explores Rudge's relationship with Pound, her influence on his life and career, and her perspective on many details of his controversial life, as well as her own musical career as a violinist and musicologist and a key figure in the revival of Vivaldi's music in the 1930s.
Olga Rudge was not only Pound's mistress and the mother of his child, but a concert violinist who altered her career to become Pound's helpmate, and who nursed him through his final difficult years.

She moved with him, first to Paris, then in 1923 to Italy, where, within the year, Olga Rudge, who was to become Ezra’s life-long mistress, gave birth to their daughter Mary.
Olga, the first to return, rushed to find Ezra and accompanied him to the U.S. Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) headquarters in Genoa.
Olga returned on May 7, later remarking that her four days with Ezra at the CIC were “among the happiest of [her] life”-presumably because she had the poet all to herself.

 Canti postumi by Ezra Pound- R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
The book is divided into eight chronological sections: it begins with the 1917 version of "Three Cantos" published in Poetry, different enough from those eventually published in The Cantos to be preserved.
Some drafts offer longer versions of incidents that were compressed for the final book version, like a discussion between Pound and Eliot at Verona in 1922 that is merely alluded to in the published version.
The couplet "Her name was courage / and is written Olga" from the final page of The Cantos is taken from a lovely 13-line poem published here in tribute to his longtime companion Olga Rudge, the embodiment of Venus invoked at the beginning of his epic.

Most of the play's action spans the years just after the war, when Pound, taken into custody by the US Army, was first detained, under horrific conditions, in Pisa, then transferred to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, DC, where a fictive diagnosis of mental illness allowed him to evade prosecution for treason.
There are plenty of dramatic-irony groaners as well-at one point, Olga assures him, "When this is all over, your Cantos will be studied--not Eliot, not Frost." The unfortunate climax--an encounter between a failing Pound and Allen Ginsburg--plays like a sketch from some forgotten early-60s revue.
The rest of the cast seem hamstrung by their roles, as Dorothy and Olga, Jennifer Sternberg and Nicole Orth Pallavicni are a pair of drudges, tending to their charge with remarkable detachment.

 Rambles: John Berendt, The City of Falling Angels
He presents research as well as conversations between himself and those connected with the controversy, including Mary de Rachewiltz, the daughter of Pound and Rudge.
He wisely lets his subjects speak for themselves; they imply that Rudge had been taken advantage of by a friend and her family poorly compensated for Pound's papers.
A strong parallel is made between this tale and Henry James' The Aspern Papers, which also deals with the personal tragedy surrounding the letters of a Byronic American poet who had once lived in Venice.

This book is less sensational than its predecessor, and the whodunit at the center, the burning of the opera house La Fenice, is really far less interesting than the smaller machinations and intrigues that Berendt finds along the way.
The seduction and swindling of Olga Rudge, Ezra Pound’s mistress, by the director of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, is enthralling; whether an electrician intentionally left a blowtorch burning is not.
Berendt is happiest among the city’s witty sophisticates and latter-day Milly Theales, and though his story forces him to include a few ordinary Venetians, he does so, it seems, reluctantly.
