Published for the first time in this authoritative critical edition, the novel reflects both Rudge's and Pound's voracious reading of popular fiction as it echoes and parodies such writers as Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and P.G. Wodehouse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on the original manuscripts of the novel, this critical edition includes annotation and textual commentary throughout. The book also includes critical essays exploring the contexts of the work, from the dynamics of artistic collaboration to the growing popularity of detective fiction at the beginning of the 20th century. Taken together, this unique publication sheds new light on the relationship between the literary avant-garde and popular culture in the modernist period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEzra Pound\u003c\/b\u003e (1885-1972) was one of the most influential poets of the 20th  century and perhaps the key figure in defining and promoting  Anglo-American poetic modernism. \u003ci\u003eThe Cantos\u003c\/i\u003e – an epic poem written over 50 years – is his major poetic work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOlga Rudge\u003c\/b\u003e (1895-1996) was a concert violinist and long-time companion of Ezra Pound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Byron\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in English Literature and an Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the University of Sydney, Australia.
