The Cantos of Ezra Pound - 1930's

Show Details

Ezra Pound's monumental poem The Cantos is the longest and most sustained literary effort made by a poet of the modernist generation in any language. It took half a century to write: begun before World War I, it was continued to the end of the 1960s. It has now become a modernist classic.

This event, sponsored by The Cantos Project at the University of Edinburgh and the Leverhulme Trust, showcases the poems written between 1930 and 1936.
