Summary:

This volume offers new interpretations of Pound's poetics, as well as new perspectives on his critical reception globally. It covers Pound's work from his beginnings as a young poet in Philadelphia in the first decade of the century through his most productive years as a poet, critic, and translator to the first critical treatments of his work in the 1940s and 50s, and on to translations of The Cantos spanning the last fifty years.
