The author was a long-time friend and correspondent of Pound for many years and apparently took it upon herself in the early 60’s to write a biographical text on Pound’s time in London as her original thesis, but eventually left off her efforts at about 1913. Pound was in London until 1919. Shortly after the WWI he left and never returned. So although the story covers 1885 (Pound’s birth) until 1913, the bulk of it is about the events of 1908-1913 and covers the period of Pound’s work and activities when he was (mostly) staying in the Kensington area of Greater London. The book was published in 1965. The author had previously written another similar style book on Joyce’s Dublin in 1950.
