Book Overview
"Be influenced by as many great writers as you can," said Ezra Pound. Pound was an "assimilative poet" par excellence, as George Bornstein calls him, a writer who more often "adhered to a&. . . classical conception of influence as benign and strengthening" than to an anxiety model of influence. To study Pound means to study also his precursors-Homer, Ovid, Li Po, Dante, Whitman, Browning-as well as his contemporaries-Yeats, Williams, and Eliot. These poets, discussed here by ten distinguished critics, stimulated Pound's most important poetic encounters with the literature of Greece, Rome, China, Tuscany, England, and the United States. Fully half of these essays draw on previously unpublished manuscripts.
