Dear Uncle George: Correspondence Between Ezra Pound & Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts

This collection contains all the extant correspondence between Ezra Pound and George Holden Tinkham (Republican), US Representative from Massachusetts from 1915 to 1943. One hundred letters in all, “Dear Uncle George” differs from the majority of published correspondence from Pound’s prolific career as letter-writer in being clearly identifiable as “political correspondence”. Extending from February 1933 through the 1940 national elections, thus spanning most of the turbulent 1930s with its world economic and political crises culminating in the Second World War.
