Overview
Roses from the Steel Dust supplements the author's earlier The Rose in the Steel Dust, one of the major classics of Pound studies. When it was first published in 1967 by Francke Verlag in Berne, The Rose in the Steel Dust outsold all other titles ever to appear in the Swiss Studies in English series. The American edition of this book, published in 1970 by the University of Miami Press, was also enthusiastically received.Roses from the Steel Dust collects essays by Baumann on Pound published from the 1960s to the present, together with five previously unpublished pieces. The sixteen papers include "Ezra Pound and Magic: Old World Tricks in a New World Poem," "The Odysseus Theme in Ezra Pound's Cantos," "Yeats and Ireland in The Cantos," "Secretary of Nature, J. Heydon," and extensive analyses of canto 4 and canto 116, along with several discussions of Pound's relationship to German, French and Irish culture and literature.
