Description

First published in 1967, this Routledge Revivals edition offers a definitive study of meaning within Ezra Pound's The Cantos, examining the central interpretative challenges of this modernist work. Noel Stock provides a vigorous and lucid analysis that addresses critical questions surrounding Pound's masterpiece, presenting a radical thesis: that The Cantos functions not as a finished poem but as notes towards one. Stock explores how the work comprises fragments of varying quality, some of extraordinary power and beauty, yet argues they lack the cohesion of a unified artistic whole. This scholarly examination is invaluable for students of modern poetry seeking deeper understanding of Pound's ambitions, methods and the interpretative frameworks required to engage with his complex literary legacy. The book combines rigorous literary criticism with accessible analysis, making it an essential resource for anyone studying twentieth-century poetry or the evolution of modernist literary form.
