"Hugh Kenner's The Pound Era could as well be known as the Kenner era, for there is no critic who has more firmly established his claim to valuable literary property than has Kenner to the first three decades of the 20th century in England. Author of pervious studies of Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis and Pound (to name a few), Kenner bestrides modern literature if not like a colossus then at least a presence of formidable proportions. A new book by him is certainly an event....A demanding, enticing book that glitters at the same time it antagonizes...."The Pound Era presents us with an idiosyncratic but sharply etched skeletal view of our immediate literary heritage."—The New York Times

Kenner skillfully examines how Joyce guides readers through his novel, mirroring his own writing journey. He transitions from simplicity to complexity, familiar to unfamiliar, and from traditional 19th-century norms to the innovative forms of modernism.

The correspondence between Hugh Kenner and Guy Davenport spans over four decades, offering rich insights into their shared enthusiasm for modernist literature and figures like Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and James Joyce. Their letters reflect a deep intellectual engagement and document the evolution of their creative works. The collection not only captures their fascination with Pound's transformation of reality into art but also serves as a valuable resource for understanding literary modernism through extensive notes and cross-referencing of archival sources.

Recognized for its cultural significance, this work is deemed essential for understanding the foundations of civilization. It offers insights that contribute to the broader knowledge base, making it a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in the development of societal norms and values.
