"Transcending the Senses, Transcending through the Senses" offers a new perspective on the engagement of Anglo-American literary modernism with the issues of religion and religious experience. The project investigates representations of visionary experiences in three modernist long poems about war: David Jones's In Parenthesis (Chapter II), H.D.'s Trilogy (Chapter III), and Ezra Pound's The Pisan Cantos (Chapter IV). It sheds light on vital continuities between religious and non-religious strands of Anglo-American literary modernism by revealing a shared dimension in the spiritual engagements of three modernists with ostensibly widely dissimilar philosophical and spiritual commitments.

520 $a "Transcending the Senses, Transcending through the Senses" offers a new perspective on the engagement of Anglo-American literary modernism with the issues of religion and religious experience. The project investigates representations of visionary experiences in three modernist long poems about war: David Jones's In Parenthesis (Chapter II), H.D.'s Trilogy (Chapter III), and Ezra Pound's The Pisan Cantos (Chapter IV). It sheds light on vital continuities between religious and non-religious strands of Anglo-American literary modernism by revealing a shared dimension in the spiritual engagements of three modernists with ostensibly widely dissimilar philosophical and spiritual commitments.
520 $a I argue that relying primarily on the idioms of ontology and aesthetics, rather than any stable framework of a religious practice or orthodoxy, Jones, H.D., and Pound frame visionary experiences in their neo-epic poems as dynamic, subject-object encounters between a speaker and a transcendent object. They also conceptualize those experiences as extensions of ordinary moments of perception. Fundamentally, the project investigates the implications of such framing of the problem of transcendent vision by these three modernists. I situate these poets' approach to the problem of transcendent vision in the context of a broader engagement of aesthetic modernism with the issue of perception. In particular, I examine the attitudes of Pound, H.D, and Jones, as artists and theorists, towards the 'optical' aesthetics of nineteenth-century realism and the symbolist discourse of synaesthesia; I also explore these poets' engagements with visual media (sculpture, photography, film, painting, drawing and engraving). Most importantly, however, I draw attention to the ways in which phenomenology and the phenomenological method allow us to understand their conceptualization of the experience of transcendent vision as both a sensory and extra-sensory phenomenon. Specifically, I position the issue of transcendent vision in Anglo-American poetic modernism in the context of the idealism-realism debate animating phenomenology in the first half of the twentieth century, and I demonstrate how this debate allows us to understand central philosophical and formal preoccupations of Pound, H.D. and Jones.
