Title: Unearthing the obvious for the oblivious
Product review: This is one of the more useful books in assessing the poet Pound's memetic fascination with the ideals and ideograms of Italian-style fascism. To assess the beauty to be found in Pound's work without going the extra mile to understand the constellation of virtues, misapprehensions, and outright blandishments that led Pound to remain in Italy during WWII and endorse the Mussolini regime is to fail to understand what could make a decent, generous man confuse the "light of Eleusis" with the krieg lights of artistic freedom's enemies. For the Pound scholar, to fail to study the memetics of Pound's poetics is to be little more than an apologist for Pound's mistakes, thus making appreciation of his deepest gifts to culture naive and superficial.
