The long-awaited second volume of A. David Moody's critically
acclaimed three-part biography of Ezra Pound weaves together the
illuminating story of his life, his achievements as a poet and a
composer, and his one-man crusade for economic justice. The years
1921-1939 were the most productive of Pound's career. In 1920s
Paris, he was among the leading figures of the avant-garde and, in
that ambience, he composed an opera, made original contributions to
the theory of harmony, and wrote the first thirty cantos of his
great epic. Moody explores this creativity in fascinating detail,
examining the environment that allowed for some of Pound's greatest
work. This period also brought Pound's politics firmly into view
and Moody is able to shed new light on his sympathy for Mussolini's
Fascism, his invoking Confucian China as a model of responsible
government, and his abiding commitment to the democratic values of
the American Constitution. Pound is revealed as a great poet and a
flawed idealist caught up in the turmoil of his darkening time and
struggling, sometimes blindly and in error and self-contradiction,
to be a force for enlightenment.
