"For more than fifty years, Ezra Pound worked on his epic poem - 'The Cantos' ... The Italian Cantos LXXII and LXXIII were added to the revised edition of 1969 (as well as a 1966 fragment intended to conclude the work). For this thirteenth printing, the recently found English translation of Canto LXXII has been included. No translation of Canto LXXIII has been found."--Dustjacket.
