Orpheus: A World in Chorus; A 20th Century Literature of Synthesis / Barzun, Henri Martin ; Joyce J ; Pound E ; Apollinaire G ; Goll Y., 1962

 Item
Identifier: CC-43451-45514
Scope and Contents

Dr. Barzun was born in France, where his youthful scholarly associations put him in close contact with the earliest trends in modernist poetry, art, and music in the 20th Century. He contributed to the early Dada movement through his poetry and was a friend of and collaborator with early French cubists. According to Barzun, the Orphic movement in literature relates to "Simultaneity" in art (c.1910). A good example of this movement is James Joyce's Ulysses. The text iof this book is very dense with philosophical issues but an exact definition of the Orphic movement with examples is not presented. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
