First published in 1970, this is a detailed and balanced biography
of one of the most controversial literary figures of the twentieth
century. Ezra Pound, an American who left home for Venice and
London at the age of twenty-three, was a leading member of 'the
modern movement', a friend and helper of Joyce, Eliot, Yeats,
Hemingway, an early supporter of Lawrence and Frost. As a critic of
modern society his far-reaching and controversial theories on
politics, economics and religion led him to broadcast over Rome
Radio during the Second World War, after which he was indicted for
treason but declared insane by an American court. He then spent
more than twelve years in St Elizabeth's Hospital for the
Criminally Insane in Washington, D.C. In 1958 the changes against
him were dropped and he returned to Italy where he had lived
between 1924 and 1945.
