dc.description.abstract This thesis is a study of specific aspects of the works of the American Poet, Ezra Loomis Pound. Although Mr. Pound remains a controversial figure in the view of some scholars, many have come to appreciate the genuine Mr. Pound. To enjoy his work requires an in-depth examination of not only his poetry and essays, but the reason he took the political stance attributed to him, why he chose the canto style of writing, why Confucianism became his philosophy and why he frequently wrote employing the Chinese ideogram. Mr. Pound is an important figure in literary studies due to his efforts in determining the dawn of the Modernist Age of writing, which changed forever the way poets present their art. Also, his support and aid to other artists such as James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, and Robert Frost (to name a few) adds to the respect that is his due. Besides these significant facts, his poetry is a brilliant example of Imagist writing in the canto style, which guides the reader through a history, through magnificent imagery, and through a philosophical view of our world. These issues are addressed herein to aid in the understanding of an artist and his accomplishments. en_US
