James Joyce, Ezra Pound, CorrespondenceAbstract
The importance of Ezra Pound to James Joyce's literary career is undeniable. Catalyst of talents, from 1913 on, Pound dazzled with the joycean writing and articulated its publication in all journals of which he was an editor or exercised his influence. Pound's help to Joyce extended beyond professional life, with financial help, in the assistance of Joyce family's move to Paris in 1920, and in Joyce's inclusion in the Parisian literary scene. In Paris, the two authors met frequently, discussed literature, and exchanged impressions about books. With Pound's move to Rapallo, Italy, in 1925, the two authors drifted apart, but continued to correspond until 1938. The letters exchanged between Pound and Joyce are a source of interest for literary and translation research in Brazil. It is intended here to bring some information about the correspondence between these authors and the research that has begun, which aims to translate for Brazilian Portuguese, comment and complement with paratexts, the letters of these two great modernists.
