Synopsis
Written between 1925 and 1960, and tapping into a huge variety of references, from economics and politics to classical literature and Chinese philosophy, the CANTOS--considered to be his best work--represent Pound's attempt to write a modern epic. The 117 poems that comprise the CANTOS are a passionate defense of the dignity and worth of common labor, and a denunciation of the greed and materialism that, according to Pound, undermine the quality of life. They also clarify his conviction that the past is always a part of the present, and that the concerns of humanity are universal and transcend time.

Industry Reviews
"They are one of the touchstones of modern poetry."
Publisher's Catalog - Delmore Schwartz
"Pound's 'Cantos' is a modern classic that everybody has to know."
Ransom
"He [Pound] discloses history by its odor, by the feel of it--in the words; fuses it with the words, present and past, to MAKE his 'Cantos.' Make them."
Publisher's Catalog - William Carlos Williams
