Notes:

Edited, with contributions, by Ezra Pound.

"Shortly after publication, according to Ezra Pound, protests were received by Elkin Mathews from Francis Meynell and other Catholic authors because of the title of the anthology; but the book was not suppressed ..."--Donald Gallup, Ezra Pound (1983), p. 141.

"Various of the poems ... have appeared in 'Poetry, ' 'Poetry and drama, ' 'Blast, ' 'Others, ' 'Bruno chap books, ' and in 'The Spoon River anthology, ' 'Children of love, ' 'You and I' ..."--Page [ii].

The poems by Eliot are: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock; Portrait of a Lady; The Boston Evening Transcript; Hysteria (here first printed) and Miss Helen Slingsby (Aunt Helen).

"This is the first appearance in book-form of any of T. S. Eliot's verse. Two misprints, 'spot' for 'soot' in line 9, page 3, and 'them already' for them all ready' in line 6 up, p. 4, were not corrected.''--Cf. Gallup.

Grey paper boards printed in black on both covers and on spine with design by D[orothy]. S[hakespear Pound].
