[Literature] Pound, Ezra. (1885-1972). "The Cabinet of a Dream and Congress Should Go on the Air" - Signed and Annotated Manuscript. Annotated typescript, signed (twice), of an essay titled "The Cabinet of a Dream and Congress Should Go on the Air." [1939]. On three 8-1/2" x 11" sheets. Signed as "E. Pound" at the top of the first page and elaborately signed in full at the end of the essay. Horizontal folds, paper clip indentations at top left of each sheet, small tears or remnants of prior mounting at top center verso of each sheet, overall fine.

"The only place you can find those records is in the Congressional Record which is, by common knowledge, the last place that the American public ever looks for information as to what its government is doing (to it). And as I see no means to inducing the people to read the said record, I suggest (and HOW!) that Congress be put on the air. With all this sickening blah about democracy I at any rate have the courage to say that the only way to maintain democracy is to use the modern means for that purpose, namely the air." [in part]

A remarkable item from the American modernist writer and critic whose works, particularly his poetry, occupy a central place in twentieth-century letters.
