No ownership inscription.379 pages clean and tight. Guide to Kulchur is one of Pound's most stimulating works-a series of short, dynamic, inflammatory chapters in which he has let his iconoclastic mind rove the whole territory of 'kulchur' as he has discovered it, from the Chinese philosophers to the modern poets. In his own words, 'This book is not written for the over-fed. It is written for men who have not been able to afford an university education or for young men, whether or not threatened with universities, who want to know more at the age of fifty than I know today, and 'whom might conceivably aid to that object.' A classic work of pedagogy in the truly creative sense, in which a profoundly original sensibility sets out to awaken curiosity in others. 'Mr Pound speaks with the authority of a man who has recognised something new and real long before other people.'-The Times Literary Supplement (Book ref. 125277)  £25.00
