ABSTRACT

In this volume Mr. Pound has collected 'all that he now wishes to keep in circulation from Personæ, Exultations, Ripostes, etc.' To these he has added a number of translations from Guido Cavalcanti and Arnaut Daniel; and he has appended to the whole the few verses which make up 'the complete poetical works' of the late T. E. Hulme. This collection embodies, we may take it, the author's judgment upon his earlier works, and provides also the material which should enable us to discover what are the qualities which set him apart—so very far apart— from the mass of his contemporary poets.
