Verlag: Faber & Faber, 1934

The Criterion Quarterly Review, edited by T. S. Eliot. April 1934. This issue contains three notably Poundian articles. Hell by Ezra Pound is a review of Laurence Binyon's translation of Dante's Inferno into English Triple Rhyme which favoures Binyon, describing his work (whether its author knows it or not) as a "penetration" into the original. A three page review of Pound's Draft of XXX Cantos by Marianne Moore describes The Cantos as "both a poring upon excellence and a protest against 'the tyranny of the unimaginative'." Moore goes on to explore Pound's music ("We have in some of these metrical effects a wisdom as remarkable as anything since Bach.") and realises the capacity of EP's words: the day is coming when spareness will seem natural. Lastly Pound also publishes a review of Stones of Rimini by Adrian Stokes, a nice architectural medley (Pound's) between Sigismundo Malatesta (see Cantos VIII - XI) and Gaudier-Brzeska's "masses in relation" (Vorticism in Blast). Also containing reviews of W. B. Yeats's Collected Poems by Herbert Read, a review of Miss Phare's Hopkins by W. H. Auden, and a review of Wyndham Lewis' One-Way Song by Hugh Gordon Porteus. Oversized covers somewhat worn; some foxing to edges of leaves; ex-libris stamp to front cover of The Belfast Library. Overall very good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1725383634311
