Inscription reads, 'For the 'real' Robert,/with best wishes/Ian'. A well-researched, authoritative and academic study of Ezra Pound's modernist poetics.

It was in science that Pound discovered the vocabulary that became his most characteristic gesture during the literary crises of the time. With Index. A very good plus copy, in a very good plus d/w, of a SCARCE first edition, first printing SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. D/w now protected in a detachable, non-adhesive, clear sheaf..
