问答题 Ezra Pound and The Cantos
【正确答案】正确答案:Ezra Pound and The Cantos; Ezra Weston Loomis Pound(1885-1972)was an American expatriate poet, critic and intellectual who was a major figure of the Modernist movement in the first half of the 20th century. His significant contributions to poetry begin with his promotion of Imag-ism. 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, although much of the early work was abandoned and the early cantos, as finally published, date from 1922 onwards. Strong claims have been made for it as the most significant work of modernist poetry of the twentieth century. The most striking feature of the text, to a casual browser, is the inclusion of Chinese characters as well as quotations in European languages other than English.
