Description
|
|
|
|
The canon of Ezra Pound would be incomplete without a representative collection in the master's lighter vein. Pavanes and Divagations includes Pound's long essay "Indiscretions," one of his rare autobiographical writings; an assortment of facetious verses; his superb translations from the dialogues of Fontenelle; and causeries on topics from religion to the mores of the rich, as well as a miscellany of editorials, denunciations, and literary masquerades. Pound's barbed wit is deployed to its best advantage in these pieces, but the book is more than a simple diversion; it presents an important if overlooked aspect of the poet who contributed so much to modernism.
