ABC of Reading (New Directions Paperbook, 1186)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Ezra Poundâ€™s classic book about the meaning of literature, with a new introduction by Michael Dirda.
This important work, first published in 1934, is a concise statement of Poundâ€™s aesthetic theory. It is a primer for the reader who wants to maintain an active, critical mind and become increasingly sensitive to the beauty and inspiration of the worldâ€™s best literature. With characteristic vigor and iconoclasm, Pound illustrates his precepts with exhibits meticulously chosen from the classics, and the concluding â€œTreatise on Meterâ€ provides an illuminating essay for anyone aspiring to read and write poetry. ABC of Reading displays Poundâ€™s great ability to open new avenues in literature for our time.
