A Draft of XXX Cantos.
Stock Code 110169
Paris, Hours Press, 1930
Current price$4,000.00
One of 200 copies. This publication of Pound's first 30 Cantos was landmark in both his career and the history of modernist poetry.
'These Cantos ... represent the best in Pound's "poem of some length" ... There are more lyrics and fewer chunks of prose than in the later, not so many economic propositions and ideograms, and some beautiful passages on the Homeric world and renaissance Italy. I prefer them to all the rest except for some passages in the Pisan Cantos.' (Connolly)
First edition, number 107 of 200 copies printed by François Bernouard for Nancy Cunard's Hours Press on Canson-Mongolfier Soleil velin M.R.V. Paper; 8vo; decorative initials in oriental style by Dorothy Shakespear Pound, remnants of a small bookshop label to the rear paste down, one or two spots as often,; publisher's natural linen, titles to upper board and spine in red, edges uncut, some mild foxing to the linen (endemic for the Hours Press edition), spine lettering just a touch faded but again far less than usual; housed in a tan calf backed cloth box. -
