Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A primarily political piece from EP on the benefits of a literary 'sindicato', a guild, who would be responsible for clarity in terms, thus a general ordering and a tempering or directing of the paideuma ("the complex of ideas which is in a given time germinal, reaching into the next epoch, but conditioning actively all the thought and action of its own time"). Pound is equally concerned in this essay with the loss of greek influence (absorbed and washed out by the renaissance), the potential for education through chinese literature, and the importance of reading literature in multiple original languages (or at least the awareness of what the reader who reads only one language, translation or not, lacks). Somewhat fascist in its 12 men at a table attitude, but aware of diversity. Followed by On Those Islands; A Poem for Hector MacIver by Louis MacNiece and Three Poems by Michael Roberts. A very good or better copy, without foxing or damp. Oversized paper wraps worn at edges with folds; ex college library stamp to front; spine in lovely condition though with a couple of very small pencil inscriptions.

Published London: Peter Russell, 1949 One of the post-war mags associated with Pound at a time where his usual correspondence consisted of wahl wot can YU do? and some, Peter Russell included, did. Publishing 11 issues between 1949 and 1956, Nine starts off with the intent of depersonalising the creative and critical process, more Eliotesque than Pound s method of personae, yet rocks the chiu3 ideogram (which means 9) to represent this. The desire for such a periodical in England at the time was clearly great, the Criterion having ended in 1939, and Nine quickly became stuffed with literary criticism all too causeless for my liking.
