| | | | Olga Rudge - Early life: Encyclopedia II - Olga Rudge - Career Rudge had her first contact with the poet Ezra Pound in 1920 while he was a music critic.

| | | | Olga Rudge - Early life: Encyclopedia II - Olga Rudge - War years The war years were difficult for the couple. After the United States entered the war, Pound and his wife Mary became enemy aliens in Italy, an ironic situation in light of Pound's support of Mussolini. Their home in Rapallo was sequestered in 1943 and the couple had little choice but to move in with Rudge. Thus the ménage à trois for so long a matter of public speculation became a reality.

He was stripped of his rights of citizenship and released from St. Elizabeth's on condition that he return to Europe. With his wife, who was also his legal custodian, he quickly returned to Italy.
