My dissertation focuses on two writers - Ezra Pound and H.D. - who initiated what I call a modern tradition of "poetic secrecy", first as young lovers in Pennsylvania, then separately in Europe, throughout two world wars. For most of the twentieth century, scholars have dismissed modernist writers' fascination with the occult as an embarrassing and anachronistic eccentricity, at odds with the positivist spirit of the time. New Criticism, in particular, used the doctrine of textual autonomy to brush off both modernist fascism and modernist occultism, in spite of their essential formal implications. In line with the findings of Leon Surette, Demetres Tryphonopoulos, and Timothy Materer, my research puts the interactions between heterodox thought and poetic avant-garde back at the center of modernist scholarship. But while those scholars have focused on the way occultism shows up thematically in the content of the poems, I study first and foremost the formal materialization of secrecy. I show that turn-of-the-century occultism, but also, paradoxically, new sciences - endocrinology for Pound, psychoanalysis for H.D. - influenced those two seminal modernists in designing a poetics meant to simultaneously hide and reveal unspeakable truths. By focusing on two authors with vastly different personalities and engagements, I rethink the ways in which occultism, politics, sexuality, and poetics intersect. Following Susan Stanford's and Rachel Blau DuPlessis' groundbreaking effort in asserting the central and singular position of H.D. in the modernist canon, the tendency in H.D. scholarship has been to disentangle her literary achievements from the overbearing influence of Pound. I purposefully choose to bring the two of them back together, to show how much their lifelong affective and poetic exchanges - beyond crucial political differences - shaped their conception of poetry as a cipher for hidden meanings. I further analyze Robert Duncan's intense relationship to each of those writers to highlight the lasting impact of that poetics of secrecy on postwar generations of American poets.
