Exemplar fotocopiat There were aspects of each essay in the collection (edited by T.S. Eliot) which glimmered with stunning poetic vision. There were also serial rants, an ugly approach to pedagogy which illuminates if not anticipates some of the more malignant spiel Pound would later deliver for Mussolini on he radio. I'm listening to one of those ugly broadcasts right now as I type. Pound's meticulous analysis of meter and melody are always undermined by his frothing certainty. mystic fog shrouds much of history. Pounder parts this gloom with his beloved troubadours but then collapses into a wheezing bigotry. I would recommend these essays especially those on Henry James and James Joyce. It places one in an awkward situation. One can also be troubled by remembering a childhood affection or the comedy albums of Bill Cosby. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Eliot wrote in his introduction: I hope that this volume will demonstrate that Pound's literary criticism is the most important contemporary criticism of its kind...perhaps the kind we can least afford to do without...the refreshment, the revitalization and `making new' of literature in our time.
