This volume gathers fifteen essays that offer new interpretations on Pound’s poetics, as well as new perspectives on his critical reception globally. It includes authors from nine different countries and covers Pound’s work from his beginnings as a young poet in Philadelphia in the first decade of the century through his most productive years as a poet, critic, and translator to the first critical treatments of his work in the 1940s and 50s, and on to translations of The Cantos spanningthe last fifty years. Although, in our own era, such terms as and “cross-cultural thinking, and ” and “globalism, and ” and “transnationalism, and ” and and “internationalism and ” remain fluid and can often stir controversy in literary studies, especially in discussion of the impact of modernism, the place of Ezra Pound as a prominent modernist figure worldwide has remained unquestioned throughout the last century.
