A Companion to The Cantos of Ezra Pound
The Companion is a major contribution to the literary evaluation of Pound's great, but often bewildering and abstruse work, The Cantos. Available in a one-volume paperback edition for the first time, the Companion brings together in conveniently numbered glosses for each canto the most pertinent details from the vast body of work on the Cantos during the last thirty years.

Also included is a supplementary bibliography of works on Pound, newly updated, and an alphabetized index to The Cantos.
