About the Author:
Review:
Michael Alexander is Berry Professor of English Literature at the University of St. Andrews.
The best introduction to Pound's poetry as a whole, including thetranslations. The ideal guide for all beginning readers. Alexander is such an expert reader of individual poems that he can hold the attention of the veteran Pound scholar. -- A Walton Litz Can be welcomed as a basic introduction to Pound's poetry for the reader who is well-disposed and interested but uninformed. I cannot imagine the job being done better. -- Bernard Bergonzi It is good to see a new edition of Michael Alexander's 'The Poetic Achievement of Ezra Pound' (EUP). Free from all jargon or theorising, this is much the finest introduction to Pound's poetry that has been written. -- William Cookson The best introduction to Pound's poetry as a whole, including thetranslations.
