Olga Rudge and Ezra Pound: What Thou Lovest Well--

As the first scholar to gain access to the papers of Pound's longtime mistress, independent scholar Anne Conover has unearthed plenty of insights into the daily life and thought of Ez and those who surrounded him. Olga Rudge and Ezra Pound: ""What Thou Lovest Well"" documents the whole of Rudge's long life (1895-1996), with emphasis on all things Ezra. While mostly for the faithful, Rudge's 20th-century transcontinental existence as a violinist and musicologist (helping to revive Vivaldi's work) holds interest for feminists and others with interest in the status of women in the arts.
