Stone Cottage, Sandy lane, Colemans hatch, Ashdown forest
The young poet Ezra Pound much admired WB Yeats( 20 years his senior) and together they rented the remote Stone Cottage, Coleman's Hatch in the Ashdown Forest, over three winters from 1913 -1916.
Pound nominally acted as Yeats's secretary at the cottage. Yeats, with Pound's help, developed his autobiographies and Noh-style plays whilst Pound, under Yeats's influence, experimented with esoteric texts in the development of his own Imagistic theory.
They both also met their future wives whilst at the Cottage and honeymooned there.
James Longenbach's book Stone cottage – Pound, Yeats and Modernism describes this period and how walking through the Forest and to the local pub, the Hatch Inn, they developed their ideas and a language which was to influence world literature and give rise to Anglo American literary modernism.
