The Cantos of Ezra Pound
• Portions of Pound's major work, Cantos, were first published in 1925; the first complete English edition of all the published segments was issued in 1970 as The Cantos of Ezra Pound. • The Cantos by Ezra Pound is a long, incomplete poem in 120 sections, each of which is a canto. • Most of it was written between 1915 and 1962. • The most striking feature of the text is the inclusion of Chinese characters as well as quotations in European languages other than English.
Legacy
• Even though many people thought politics and writing should be separated, Pound acquired many enemies in the latter period of his life because of his support for Mussolini. • Pound championed and in some cases edited the works of several avant-garde authors writing in England, including the Anglo-American poet T. S. Eliot, the Irish poet William Butler Yeats, and the Irish novelist James Joyce. • Pound also set forth the theories behind the literary movement of imagism.

Ezra Pound
• Imagism: it’s a poetic movement of England and the U.S flourished from 1909 to 1917. The movement insists on the creation of images in poetry by “the direct treatment of the thing” and the economy of wording. The leaders of this movement were Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell艾米•洛威尔.
The doctrine and poetic practice of a small but influential group of American and British poets calling themselves imagists bewtween 1909-1917. Led at first by Ezra Pound, then after his defection to vorticism by Amy Lowell. Imagism is characterized by the 3 principles: 1. Direct treatment of "the thing", whether subjective or objective 2. To use absolutely no word that does not contribute to the presentation 3. As regards rhythm, to compose in the sequence of the musical phrase, not in the sequence of a metronome节拍器
