Recycling The Remnants: The Ghost Of “exhausted Literature” And The Waning Of Creative Authority In Pound’s Cantos
Authors : Djoudi Djamila .
Abstract
Ezra Pound’s Cantos stand as a monumental work where invention yields to invocation and creation crack beneath the weight of tradition. This article, under the banner of “Recycling the Remnants” traces the spectral presence of exhausted literature, a realm where the overwhelming reliance on inherited voices - through citation, allusion, intertextuality and fragmented memory - replace original expression. As the Cantos weave together the remnants of a crumbling cultural inheritance, they reveal not only the anxieties of artistic ambition, but also the waning of creative authority itself, casting modern literature into twilight of endless recollection.
