The Poetic Achievement of Ezra Pound

"Ezra Pound is the central figure in the development of modern English poetry, yet his poetry is often regarded as too difficult. This classic study, available for the first time in paperback, provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to Pound's work. Michael Alexander - himself a poet and translator - brings out the life and originality of Pound's poetry and shows how he contributed to the modernist movement through his own writing as well as through his impact on Yeats, Eliot, Joyce and others." "Most helpfully, this book shows how Pound's poems work. It takes the reader through all of the poems offering succinct commentary and close analysis of individual passages."--Jacket.

המשפט הראשון: Ezra Pound died in Venice on All Saints' Day 1972 at the beginning of his eighty-eighth year, leaving as his chief testament his prodigious Cantos, begun in London over fifty-five years before.
