She Treats Little-known And Unpublished Writings, Including Many Early Poems. One Substantial Poem, In Praise Of The Masters, Appears Here In Print For The First Time. Discussing Pound's Relationship To His Victorian Predecessors, Particularly Robert Browning And Nineteenth-century Historians, Gibson Demonstrates How Pound's Attempt To Write A Post-romantic Epic Both Confronted Questions Of Genre And Social Order And Led To The Unpredictabilities Of His Politics. She Develops A Rhetorical Tropology To Account For The Formal And Cultural Dimensions Of Pound's Contradictions.
