First published in 1967, this is a study which tackles the central problem of meaning, within Ezra Pound's The Cantos. It deals with the question of important critical issues, as well as of interpretation and understanding. Students of modern poetry will derive great benefit from this vigorous and lucid analysis of Pound's masterpiece. Noel Stock's finding is radical: that The Cantos is not a really a poem at all, but rather notes towards a poem. It is a collection of fragments of varying quality - some of extraordinary power and beauty - but in no sense formed into a work of art.

"Still in progress, Ezra Pound's Cantos is probably the most famous of contemporary poems. Many students of the Cantos will be delighted to find that Noel Stock attempts to dispel the myth of major form which has plagued Pound scholars for so many years and led them into elaborate theories to defend the seeming 'grab-bag' appearance of the poem. He maintains that the Cantos is not really a poem at all, but notes toward a poem: a collection of fragments of varying quality, some of extraordinary power and beauty, but in no sense formed into a unified work of art. Refreshingly bare of the kind of pedantic jargon that its subject has so often invited in the past, Reading the Cantos performs a great service by putting its subject into nonformidable perspective."-- from the back cover.

Ezra Pound spent most of his life in Italy and wrote about it incessantly in his poetry. Only by following his footsteps, acquaintances and composition processes can we make sense of and enjoy his forbidding Cantos. This study provides for the first time an account of Pound’s Italian wanderings and of what they became in his work. After this study we will be able to read Pound as a guide to the places, people and books he loved, and we will share his the poet traveler’s joys and discoveries.
