High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is a list of persons, places, events, etc. that feature in Ezra Pound`s The Cantos, a long, incomplete poem in 120 sections, each of which is a canto. It is a book-length work, widely considered to present formidable difficulties to the reader. Strong claims have been made for it as one of the most significant works of modernist poetry of the twentieth century. As in Pound`s prose writing, the themes of economics, governance and culture are integral to its content.
