Ezra Pound was a modernist American poet who was influential in promoting new styles and forms of poetry in the early 20th century. He helped many major contemporary writers through generous support and criticism, including W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, and Robert Frost. Pound coined the term "Imagism" and stressed clarity, precision and economy of language in poetry. Later in life, he spent nearly 50 years working on his epic poem, The Cantos. However, he also became involved in fascist politics during his exile in Italy and was arrested for treason after World War II for making pro-fascist radio broadcasts.
Ezra Pound: Anti-Semitism, Cantos and ConfucianismAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT
This paper examines particular facets of American poet Ezra Pound's writings. Many have come to recognize
the real Pound, even though some scholars still find him to be controversial. Enjoying his work necessitates a
close reading of not just his poems and essays but also the reasons behind his political stance, canto writing
style, conversion of Confucianism to philosophy, and frequent use of the Chinese ideogram in his writing.
Because of his efforts to pinpoint the start of the Modernist Age of writing, which permanently altered the way
poets present their work, Ezra Pound is a significant figure in literary studies. In addition, he deserves more
respect because of his assistance and support for other artists, including Robert Frost, T. S. Eliot, and James
Joyce among others. In addition to these noteworthy details, his poetry is a masterful example of canto-style
Imagist writing that transports the reader through a historical account, stunning imagery, and a philosophical
analysis of the world. To help in understanding Pound and his accomplishments, these issues are addressed here.
Keywords: Ezra Pound; canto; Confucianism; Chinese ideogram.
The Industrial Revolution ushered in a period of rapid societal transformation in the nineteenth century. The literary heavyweights of the time captured the turbulent century from a variety of perspectives. These writers provided a broad and interesting portrayal of a world in change through poetry, novels, short stories, and other genres.
One of these writers was Charles Dickens, the most well-known Victorian author. Dickens acquired work habits that enabled him to create long and engaging works, despite his rough upbringing. Most of Dickens's novels were published in serial form over weeks or months in newspapers.
Dickens used his writings to analyze and criticize the social structure of England at the time. He chronicled Victorian England's socioeconomic realities in famous novels such as Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations. His writings frequently discussed class differences, poverty, and ambition that existed during the Industrial Revolution in London.
Edgar Allan Poe is another notable writer of the 19th century. Despite not living a very long life, his work positioned him as one of the most significant writers in history. Poe was the father of the short story form, a poet, and a critic.
His gloomy literary style was characterized by a fascination with the macabre and the mysterious. He influenced the development of genres, including horror and detective fiction. Poe's tumultuous background has hinted as to how he came up with the dark stories and poems for which he is most known today.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. • Ezra Pound is generally
considered the poet most
responsible for defining
and promoting a modernist
aesthetic in poetry.
Ezra Pound
3. • In the early teens of the twentieth century, he opened a
seminal exchange of work and ideas between British and
American writers, and was famous for the generosity
with which he advanced the work of such major
contemporaries as W. B. Yeats, Robert Frost, William
Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, H. D., James Joyce,
Ernest Hemingway, and especially T. S. Eliot.
4. • His own significant contributions to poetry begin
with his promulgation of Imagism, a movement in
poetry which derived its technique from classical
Chinese and Japanese poetry—stressing clarity,
precision, and economy of language, in Pound's
words, "compose in the sequence of the musical
phrase, not in the sequence of the metronome."
5. • His later work, for nearly fifty years, focused on
the encyclopedic epic poem he entitled The
Cantos.
After teaching at Wabash College for two years,
he travelled abroad to Spain, Italy, and London,
where, as the literary executor of the scholar
Ernest Fenellosa, he became interested in
Japanese and Chinese poetry.
7. In 1924, he moved to Italy; during this period
of voluntary exile, Pound became involved in
Fascist politics, and did not return to the
United States until 1945, when he was
arrested on charges of treason for
broadcasting Fascist propaganda by radio to
the United States during World War II.
8. In 1946, he was acquitted, but declared mentally ill
and committed to St. Elizabeths Hospital in
Washington, D.C. During his confinement, the jury of
the Bollingen Prize for Poetry (which included a
number of the most eminent writers of the time)
decided to overlook Pound's political career in the
interest of recognizing his poetic achievements, and
awarded him the prize for the Pisan Cantos (1948).
9. After continuous appeals
from writers won his release
from the hospital in 1958,
Pound returned to Italy and
settled in Venice, where he
died, a semi-recluse, on
November 1, 1972.
