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