Description: In The Hall of Mirrors Peter Stoicheff examines the complicated composition and publication history of Drafts & Fragments to demonstrate how the volume has become a site where conflicting responses to Pound's public and poetic lives are interpreted and reconstructed. Finally he delivers not only a well-rounded study of one of Pound's most important texts but an exploration of the modern long poem, whose very length works against the possibility of its satisfactory closure.
