Description
An account of the resource
The phrase 'Make it New' is frequently used in defining a key feature of modernism – its novelty – and is often regarded as influential and foundational in the development of modernist aesthetics. Yet when Ezra Pound employed the phrase for the first time in 1928, modernism’s major works had already appeared, and decades would pass before 'Make It New' gained significance and became a catchphrase and slogan. 'Make It New' was Pound's rendering of a passage in Da Xue, a historical Chinese text. Influenced by Christian belief as well, 'Make It New' became a model of change, of renaissance and renewal, in which the new is not simply a return to the old. Drawing on the work of those who have gone before, Making It New is a process of historical recycling, quotation, and re-arrangement.
In this exhibition, you will see examples of modernist writers Making It New, and it focuses on modernists who re-inscribe medieval elements, including medieval forms, themes, and narratives. It highlights the holdings of the University of Otago Libraries, in particular the treasures of the Charles Brasch collection. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Richard Aldington knew Pound and Eliot personally. He and Pound persuaded Harriet Weaver to appoint Eliot as Pound’s successor at <em>The Egoist</em>, and Aldington worked with Pound to get Eliot out of his day job so that he could write full-time. Years later, Aldington wrote this lecture on Pound and Eliot. In it, he criticises Eliot for his pessimism and for borrowing from sources without acknowledging them. Here, Aldington discusses Dante and the epigraph in <em>The Waste Land</em>.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Imagist poets isolate a single image and reveal its essence. Pound defined an image as ‘that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time.’ The poet renders the image precisely, in clear, direct, exact language and in rhythms composed in individualised musical phases, not conventional metres and forms. Between 1914 and 1917, Imagist poets published four anthologies, and many of the contributors to those volumes appear in this 1930 anthology.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<em>Stepping Heavenward</em> is ostensibly a scholarly account of the life of Blessed Jeremy Cibber, first American beatified, who converted England to Catholicism. It is, however, a savage satire on Aldington’s former friend T. S. Eliot. Jealous of Eliot’s celebrity, Aldington supported Vivienne Eliot as the Eliots’ marriage disintegrated. Aldington makes thinly veiled references to Eliot’s life; for example, Cibber takes a job in a haberdashery, as Eliot took one in Lloyd’s bank. Cibber is a ‘cool fish,’ and, as his wife, Adele Paleologue, is driven into ‘wild neurasthenia,’ ‘their quarrels were conducted on coldly intellectual lines.’ Aldington brutally mocks Eliot’s drift into religion.
