Pound's Epic Ambition: Dante and the Modern World (Suny Series, the Margins of Literature)

Stephen Sicari

4.9/5 (16836 ratings)

Description:This book is both an introductory overview of The Cantos and a detailed analysis advancing the knowledge of even the most sophisticated specialist. Sicari s analysis gives a clear orientation to the often bewildering but ultimately rewarding world of this difficult epic poem and shows that beneath the surface of the poem is the classical figure of the epic wanderer whose journey provides the plot of the poem. Non-specialists will appreciate Sicari s synthesis of a wide range of material. Sicari explores how Dante and the epic tradition informs The Cantos; those interested in the epic should find Sicari s study an important contribution to the field. Those studying modernism in general will see in Sicari s definition of the modern epic useful ways to study the other great achievements of high modernism, especially those of Yeats, Eliot, and Joyce. Those interested in the relation between literature and politics will find this book especially informative, for Sicari is one of the few critics on Pound who does not ignore Pound s politics, or simply castigate him for the unfortunate views he adopts and advocates. The analysis of Pound s fascism is a sub-theme that sheds new light on how politics enters a great modernist poem and affects its shape and intention."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
