 Ezra Pound, Treason, Fascism, and Anti-semitism
Pound was also successful in convincing the Italian government that they should print some works of Confucius, which he believed would have great value for improving the morale of soldiers in the trenches, but the difficult situation in the last days of the war prevented this from being completely successful.
Pound was not broadcasting propaganda which was written by or overseen by the Italian government, but his own views on a crazy diversity of subjects which he passionately believed the world needed to hear about.
Pound and Kasper believed that integration was a Jewish conspiracy, and pointed to the fact (referred to obliquely in the Agresti letters) that the chairman of the board of the NAACP was Arthur Spingarn, a Jew.

 "I Cease Not to Yowl": Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Part of the explanation in the case of the Ezra Pound and Olivia Rossetti Agresti correspondence is doubtless that Agresti is not a figure well known to literary scholarship.
Pound continuously discusses the books he is reading with Agresti, and his reading is either motivated by composition of The Cantosor simply finds its way into that compendious and memorious work.
Olivia Rossetti Agresti's letters from Ezra Pound were the first original letters acquired for the Ezra Pound Papers at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University.

 Ezra Pound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pound's controversial insanity plea is mirrored by the fate of Norwegian author and collaborator Knut Hamsun, who was similarly dubbed insane by embarrassed authorities despite evidence (in the form of subsequent published material) to the contrary.
Pound was most happy in his relations with fellow-poets, like Elizabeth Bishop, who recorded her response to Pound’s tragic situation in the poem "Visits to St. Elizabeths," and Robert Lowell, who visited and corresponded extensively with Pound.
Pound did much to publicize the movement and was instrumental in bringing it to the attention of the wider public (he was particularly important in the artistic careers of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Wyndham Lewis).

 Guide to Pound Mss. II - Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The majority of the correspondence, including drafts of Ezra or Dorothy Pound's responses, is dated between 1946 and 1958, or the years of Ezra's confinement in a federal mental institution, St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C. The earlier correspondence is miscellaneous and fragmentary, both in the writers represented and in the continuity of the letters.
Most of the early items are addressed to D orothy Pound and include medical bills and receipts, some banking and passport application records, and letters from the head mistress of the school in England that Pound's son Omar attended as a child.
Many of these "third party" correspondents were unknown to Pound, but they frequently came into direct contact with him wit hin a very short time of his reading their notes or comments.

 PREFACE
Roscoe Pound, who later became dean of the Harvard Law School, was both lawyer and a graduate teaching assistant in botany; John J. Pershing, later commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, was a teacher of math and military science.
Olivia Pound remembered that one day after an interminable number of these queries, Sherman asked, apropos of the mother of Coriolanus, "What did the noble matron Volumnia say then?" Cather's answer: "The noble matron Volumma then said 'Bowwow.
The cause of the rupture was a lampoon of Roscoe Pound that she published in the Hesperian in the form of a Theophrastean "character": the University Graduate.

 Pound, Roscoe, 1870-1964. Papers, 1888-1964: Finding Aid.
The papers of Roscoe Pound were transferred to the Harvard Law School upon the death of Dean Pound in 1964.
The papers of Roscoe Pound relate to his activities as teacher, administrator, legal scholar, champion in the struggle to raise the standards of the American legal profession and American legal teaching, and high-priest of the forces concerned with the improvement of criminal justice in this country.
The multiplicity of series is due in part to the successive filing systems employed by Dean Pound's secretary, May McCarthy, over her half-century of association with him, and in part to the acquisition and discovery of additional material while cataloguing was in progress.

 `I Cease Not to Yowl': Ezra Pound's Letters to Olivia Rossetti Agresti by Jonathan Morse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Ezra Pound was confined there in the aftermath of his wartime broadcasts from Fascist Italy, and he gave his visitors audience on days carefully separated: one day for readers of his poetry, another day for a coven of race-baiters and Nazis who read his political tracts.
For Pound saw Agresti as a person with a problem: she was a Fascist but not an anti-Semite.
Ezra Pound undertook to educate her out of that belief, and this book is his practicum.
