About this title

Synopsis

1st edition. "The aim of this book is to suggest a formal reading of the Pound text. It explains the sense in which writing, prose and poetry, approached a single activity for Pound; in which his theory illuminates his practice; in which the action of criticism is the same as the action of poetic creation; and in which The Cantos is both a central text of modernist poetry, and the ultimate expression of his critical perceptions." Pp.158, faint spotting to closed page edges. Red laminated boards, VG.
