"His holding Crabbe over Pope was instructive, but shouldn't there be a place in poetry for people like Pope, who say what they believe outright instead of showing it through narrative or whatever?
Purportedly, this is a textbook. I'd be interested to hear if anyone teaching now has used it successfully."
"Written very informally, The ABC of Reading is a refreshing review of Pound's favorite poetry, with his own personal explanations for what is valuable about each excerpt. Pound's aesthetic creed preached unapologetically."
"An iconoclastic view of the nature and meaning of literature. Worth reading for the challenge and for the insights into the nature of poetry and the classics."
