<div>Ezra Pound’s<i> Posthumous Cantos </i>collects unpublished pages of his great poem, drawn from manuscripts held in the archive at Yale’s Beinecke Library and elsewhere. They are assembled by Pound’s Italian translator, the critic and scholar Massimo Bacigalupo, into a companion book to the Cantos, running from 1917 to 1972 and including the Cantos he wrote in Italian in 1944-5. This is the first English edition of a crucial part of the Pound canon.<i>Posthumous Cantos</i> is arranged to reflect the eight phases of the Cantos’ composition.</div>
