Ezra Pound was deeply engaged with the avant-garde art scene in London and Paris. Drawing on previously unpublished archive materials and little-known magazine contributions, this 2007 study makes an important contribution to our understanding of Pound's intellectual development and the relationship between modernist literature and the visual arts.

Modernist poetry heralded a radical new aesthetic of experimentation, pioneering new verse forms and subjects. This volume examines three of the most influential figures of the modernist movement, and argues that we cannot dissociate their bold, inventive poetic forms from their profoundly engaged theories of social and political reform.
