Zusatztext The book is a model of scholarly attention! one that exhibits a variety of interpretative approaches without overriding commitment to any one in particular: close readings do not preclude explanations based on biographical evidence! nor does textual criticism disqualify the application of 'theory' . . . revealing and innovative original scholarship . . . Throughout! the author offers clear and convincing analysis of Pound's accompanying and not-unrelated ideological commitments.
