Macdonald, Ross. (Pseudonym of Kenneth Millar). THE ORIGINAL RIBBON TYPESCRIPT OF A TERM PAPER
written by the author while he was taking graduate courses at the University of Michigan, titled: ""The Imagist Theory of Style: An Essay in the Transmigration of Ideas." Summer, 1938. Brad-bound in a heavy stock folder. The paper was graded "A" by his professor. A provocative 30-page examination of Imagism that is by turns an intellectual history of the movement and Macdonald's analytic conclusions of the theories of Ezra Pound, William James, H.D., etc., as well as an assessment of the "Thirty Cantos." "-- Pound has thrown logic overboard, and lets his sequence depend on the association of ideas. His interest in ideographic writing has let him to the Chinese literary language where the words are stylized visual representations of the things named." Macdonald's pencilled emendations are present throughout and signed by him on the first and last pages. Fine. Unpublished
