Description

The Cantos of Ezra Pound Considered one of the most influential works of modern poetry, Ezra Pound's The Cantos is a sprawling, innovative masterpiece that defies easy categorization. Spanning multiple languages and historical periods, this epic poem fuses past and present to create a unique, sensory experience. First published in 1925, the work has undergone numerous revisions and additions, with the 1996 edition featuring Pound's recently discovered Eglish translation of Italian Canto LXXII. This new addition provides a fresh perspective on the poem's complex, multilingual structure. With its unique blend of imagery, allusion, and experimentation, The Cantos is a work that rewards close reading and reflection. This edition offers a comprehensive and authoritative presentation of Pound's magnum opus, making it an essential choice for scholars and poetry enthusiasts alike.
