Book description
A critical discussion of Pound's poetry and an insightful analysis of
his sources. Hugh Kenner has taught at the University of Georgia, The
Johns Hopkins University and at the University of California, Santa
Barbara. Canadian born, he attended the University of Toronto and Yale
University. Since 1947 he has published more than twenty books,
concentrating on the great Modernists (Joyce, Pound, Eliot, Beckett).
Pound enjoined him, about 1949, that he has 'an obligation' to visit the
great men of his own time; that injunction he has scrupulously
fulfilled.
