Essays following talks from the 13th EPIC, “Pound and America,” held at the University of Essex, September 1989. With a contribution from Richard Dean Taylor who spent years in effort of constructing a Variorum for The Cantos (see The Tragi-Comical History of the Variorum Project and its Betrayal by Cambridge University Press here, and the prototype hypertext here). First edition, a fine copy in a near-fine jacket, back flap a little dirtied.
