A Great, Great Book
This is simply one of the greatest, if not the greatest, works of intellectual history ever written anywhere at anytime by anyone.

A must have for any Pound enthusiast...
There are many Pound scholars today and many of them are very good, however, in my opinion Hugh Kenner is one of the most creative thinkers of his time.

A work of criticism that is itself a work of art
Parts of this book will boggle most first-time readers, being liberally strewn with allusions and complex cross-references.
