Ezra Pound A Collection of Critical Essays

One of a series of works aimed at presenting contemporary critical opinion on major authors, this collection includes essays by Walter Sutton, William Butler Yeats, William Carlos Williams, T. S. Eliot, F. R. Leavis, Hugh Kenner, M. L. Rosenthal, Forrest Read, David W. Evans, W. M. Frohock, Harold H. Watts, Earl Miner, Murray Schafer, J. P. Sullivan, George P. Elliot, and Roy Harvey Pearce. Designed for use by both literary critics and secondary and college teachers of English, this work would also be of value to undergraduate and graduate students of literature. Essays include "Ezra Pound as Prison Poet", "Ezra Pound and Music", "The Cantos", "Pound, Whitman, and the American Epic," and "Pound, Haiku, and the Image". A chronology of important dates in Pound's life, a brief set of biographical notes on the contributors to this collection, and a thirteen-item selected bibliography of works on Pound complete the volume.
