Provides an introduction to the life and works of Ezra Pound, a
major modernist poet, theorist and literary critic. Throughout his
life Pound was regarded by many to be a contentious and
controversial figure, and since his death in 1972, theoretical,
literary, political and biographical comentators have done much to
perpetuate this view. Peter Wilson's survey, however, presents a
balanced view of his life and work allowing the reader to judge for
themselves. The major sections of the book offer introductions to
the complex life and work of Pound, outlining the various cultural,
political and literary issues which are important to a full
understanding of his place in twentieth century English literature.
Critical commentaries are then given on all of Pound's major
poetry, adopting some analytical techniques from stylistics. Brief
biographies of important figures in Pound's career, and in the
development of literary modernism are provided. A gazeteer,
glossary, and suggestions for further reading complete the book.
