Drawing on years of personal acquaintance and exhaustive archival research, Stock traces Pound's journey from his origins in Idaho through his years in London and Paris, his pivotal role in shaping the careers of T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Ernest Hemingway, to his wartime broadcasts for Mussolini and his subsequent confinement in a Washington psychiatric institution.\n\nThis expanded edition presents a portrait of a man whose genius was inseparable from his catastrophic contradictions, illuminating the full arc of a career that permanently altered the landscape of English-language poetry. Stock writes with scrupulous clarity and biographical precision, resisting hagiography while never diminishing the magnitude of Pound's literary achievement. The result is an essential work for any serious student of modernism — one that leaves the reader wrestling with the same uncomfortable question Pound himself posed: how do we reconcile the beauty of The Cantos with the moral wreckage of their author's life?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130624123099,"sku":"2026200010074-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b8829001-e914-4647-a6e6-c5ee53a4fb7f.png?v=1786587755","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010074-secondhand-the-life-of-ezra-pound-an-expanded-edition","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
