A richly illustrated biographical portrait, Ezra Pound and His World chronicles the turbulent life and towering literary legacy of one of modernism's most controversial and influential figures. Peter Ackroyd presents the full arc of Pound's extraordinary journey — from his early years in America through his pivotal role in shaping twentieth-century poetry in London and Paris, to his deeply contested wartime broadcasts and subsequent confinement in a Washington psychiatric institution. With 111 illustrations, the work places Pound firmly within the cultural and intellectual milieu that defined him, illuminating his relationships with luminaries such as T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and W.B. Yeats. Ackroyd's authoritative yet accessible prose argues compellingly that Pound's genius and his infamy are inseparable threads in the fabric of modern literature, making this an indispensable volume for anyone drawn to the story of the avant-garde.
