That Ezra Pound was the chief architect of Modernism in English and American poetry is well established. So, too, is the fact that in T. S. Eliot he discovered a peer, whose early career he fostered. Together, Pound and Eliot defined what Modern Poetry meant. But they also had peers in two great Irish writers: Yeats in poetry and Joyce in fiction.

This book brings to the fore much new work on this key area of Pound’s endeavours and interests, and on the social, political, and philosophical implications of his works. They also deal with his interests in Chinese virtues, Egyptian hieroglyphs and autobiographical myths, where he combined his appreciation of both the Green World and the arts.
