Explore what modernism was during the time Blast the magazine was published. This means you are looking at Vorticism and modernism and Ezra Pound’s involvement in these movements.
The years are specifically 1914 and 1915 but you must explore the entire time of the Vorticist movement.
You must then evaluate Modernism and Vorticism based on Blast the magazine and Ezra Pound’s involvement in the movements. You should also talk about the philosophical angles from which Blast (both No.1 and NO.1 of the magazine published) can be considered.
Specifically discuss Plato’s philosophy, Ferdinand De Saussure’s philosophy, and Jung’s philosophy. You will be trying to link these philosophers to Modernism and Vorticism.
Read the introduction of the essay to clearly understand what is meant by the request to consider the philosophical aspects of Modernism, Vorticism, Blast, and Ezra Pound’s work.
