A Guide to the Cantos of Ezra Pound by William Cookson

"This seems to me by far the best and most helpful book yet to appear on the Pound Cantos" - JOHN BAYLEY - POETRY REVIEW

This is the essential guide to one of the most difficult and rewarding poems of the twentieth century. A complex of striking lyricism, savage polemic and subtle reveries woven together with high artistry, Ezra Pound's Cantos carry an extraordinary weight of reference and allusion. William Cookson - who, as a schoolboy, began a correspondence with Pound in 1957 - draws on his deep knowledge of the poet's life and work to provide a detailed and lucid commentary covering the entirety of Pound's masterpiece.
