We should bear in mind that A.R. Orage was the primary force behind the
introduction of the philosophy of Nietzsche in England.  Wallace Martin's
book on Orage provides a good background.

Might one suggest that Neo-Nietzschean scans better?

I found Lindberg useful on articulating the debate between Pound and Eliot
in the '30s.

Cheers,

Charles:

Another important reference to Pound and Nietzsche is Chapter 3 of Leon
Surette's book "Birth of Modernism".  It is entitled "Nietzsche, Wagner and
Myth".  Surette deals with Nietzsche in a straight forward
non-deconstructionist way.

If you prefer the tortures of deconstruction there is Lindberg's book
"Reading Pound Reading".  I believe she was a student or associate of
Riddel.

Where Surette is direct and easy to understand Lindberg is not.  So far I
have only been able to scan through her book and have not studied it in
depth.  Her book may contain nuggets I have just not been capable of mining.
