Cross-Cultural Ezra Pound

Edited by Walter Baumann, John Gery, and David McKnight

Recent scholarship on the work and life of Ezra Pound has brought more and more attention to his international reputation as a (if not the) ground-breaking modernist poet of the twentieth century, not only in his poetry, but in his critical thinking, theory of translation, correspondence, and collaborations across nations and cultures, as well as the transnational quality of his focus on all the arts. This volume offers new interpretations on Pound’s poetics, as well as new perspectives on his critical reception globally. It includes authors from nine  countries and covers Pound’s work from his beginnings as a young poet in the first decade of the twentieth 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 spanning the last fifty years.
