Description and Table of Contents

Description

The book consists of seven essays exploring the relationship between Pound and Browning, Yeats, Ford, Lewis, Joyce, Eliot and American epic tradition. Each essay reconsiders and reassesses one aspect of the poet, his work and his literary connections in the light of fresh insight and new research. The volume also stages a debate around various Poundian issues from the unity of the "Cantos" to "concretion", "intensity", the "vortex", masks, translation, the "ideogramic method", the "phantastikon" and others.
