- Description
- Surveys the influence of Provençal and Italian poets on the works of Ezra Pound, and examines Pound's critical commentary about Chaucer (in his "ABC of Reading"), comparing passages from the two poets and exploring the extent to which the "three 'poeias' so central to Pound's thinking have their origin largely in Chaucer" (16). Appendix L (pp. 196-97) tabulates allusions to and "Incorporations" of Chaucerian works in Pound.
