内容説明
Ezra Pound set out to invent and apply a sheath of new techniques and concerns for poetry, a number of which strike the beginning reader of his works as alien. The essays in this casebook introduce a number of essential Poundian concepts from explaining in some detail Pounds ideas concerning ways of organizing a long poem, to explicating the worldviews Pound developed and used as matter for his verse epic. The volume provides a selection of key criticism, including an article newly translated into English.

内容説明
This casebook provides a selection of key criticism, including an article newly translated into English, on the Cantos of Ezra Pound. The introduction positions the poem within Pound's corpus, contextualizes the contributions included and outlines their arguments, and concludes with suggestions for how the student may best approach this troubled and fascinating artifact. The selected articles maintain a high level of immediate contact with the
Cantos, with the intention of preparing students for reading individual cantos on their own. Contributors discuss the nature of many of the successive major blocks of work, allowing the Pound newcomer to experience the poem as an irregular progression, varying greatly in its qualities. The first selection discusses "Canto
I"; subsequent selections discuss, successively, major elements from "Canto II", the Draft of XXX, the China Cantos, the Pisan Cantos, and Drafts and Fragments. As a whole, the collection elucidates the personal and historical shifts that profoundly impacted Pound and consequentially produced the changing fusions of technique and matter in the Cantos. It also shows some of the huge variation in critics conceptions of the poem, or poetry itself, and
of what it meant to be a poet and citizen of the West during the half-century in which the Cantos were written.
