"In making this selection, " writes William Cookson in his
introduction to this paperback edition of early and out-of-print
writings, "my aim has been to show the unity of Ezra Pound's
concern." The sixty-six pieces in Pound's "Selected Prose
1909-1965" are arranged thematically, and while they are organized
chronologically within several groupings, there are natural
cross-currents of thoughts among them. Particular emphasis,
however, is given to the article concerned with "Civilization,
Money and History." This section contains such essential texts as
the "ABC of Economics" and "What is Money For?" as well as two
essays - "Gold and Work" and "A Visiting Car" - translated from
Pound's Italian and never before published in English in their
entirety. Much space is devoted, too, to Pound's evaluation of his
native America, its history, culture, economy, and his 1913 essay,
"Patria Mia, " is reprinted.
