Book Description
First published in 1967, this is a study which tackles the central problem of meaning, within Ezra Pound's The Cantos. It deals with the question of important critical issues, as well as of interpretation and understanding. Students of modern poetry will derive great benefit from this vigorous and lucid analysis of Pound's masterpiece. Noel Stock's finding is radical: that The Cantos is not a really a poem at all, but rather notes towards a poem. It is a collection of fragments of varying quality - some of extraordinary power and beauty - but in no sense formed into a work of art.

A Man Called Ove
Author: Fredrik Backman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476738033
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Now a major motion picture A Man Called Otto starring Tom Hanks! #1 New York Times bestseller—more than 3 million copies sold! Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations. Fredrik Backman’s beloved first novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).

Reading the Cantos
Author: Noel Stock
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
"Still in progress, Ezra Pound's Cantos is probably the most famous of contemporary poems. Many students of the Cantos will be delighted to find that Noel Stock attempts to dispel the myth of major form which has plagued Pound scholars for so many years and led them into elaborate theories to defend the seeming 'grab-bag' appearance of the poem. He maintains that the Cantos is not really a poem at all, but notes toward a poem: a collection of fragments of varying quality, some of extraordinary power and beauty, but in no sense formed into a unified work of art. Refreshingly bare of the kind of pedantic jargon that its subject has so often invited in the past, Reading the Cantos performs a great service by putting its subject into nonformidable perspective."-- from the back cover.
