SOURCE: Tate, Allen. “Ezra Pound and the Bollingen Prize.” In Ezra Pound Perspectives: Essays in Honor of his Eightieth Birthday, edited with an introduction by Noel Stock, pp. 86-9. Chicago, Ill.: Henry Regnery Company, 1965.

In the following essay, originally published in 1959, Tate—the famed poet and head of the Bollingen Prize jury—defends his selection of Pound as the winner of their 1949 award as being due to Pound's efforts in regenerating language, though oddly he has strong criticism of the Pisan Cantos.

This is a free excerpt of 82 words. There are 1,491 words (approx. 5 pages at 300 words per page) in the full critical essay.
