About This Item
London: Peter Owen Limited, 1960. First English Edition. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo, blue-gray cloth with copper lettering on spine, frontispiece B&W glossy photo of Pound, Mylar-protected lettered dust jacket (price-clipped), xi,[xii] + 243 pages. SUPERIOR CONDITION internally & externally! Clean, tight, bright copy in a Near Fine dust jacket. Slight fading around periphery of dj's rear panel. PAVANNES AND DIVAGATIONS by Ezra Pound is a representative collection in his lighter vein with some barbed wit. Included are Pound's long essay ''Indiscretions,'' a rare autobiographical writing, some facetious verses, his superb translations from Fontenelle, critiques of religion and wealth, as well as a miscellany of denunciation and editorials. T.S. Eliot asserted that Pound was more responsible for the twentieth-century revolution in poetry than any other individual. Gallup A74b.
