| Short Description | Pound's Cantos is a massive poem which he began writing around 1915 and which he was continuing to write at the time of his death in 1972. Considered to be perhaps the greatest work of experimental, modernist poetry ever written, it incorporates themes which were central to Pound's outlook, including music, economics, Chinese literature, the troubadour tradition, Classical Greece and Rome, and Italian Fascism. |
| About the Author | Ezra Pound was a poet who became one of the major figures of the Modernist movement in literature. Although born in the United States, Pound lived most of his adult life in Europe, and Italy in particular. He became a great admirer of Mussolini and Fascism, and gained much notoriety when he made pro-Fascist radio broadcasts during the Second World War. |
