description: Exploring a variety of Pound's sources and models, particularly Dante and Ovid, Peter Makin offers a remarkably complete guide to the literary and intellectual background of The Cantos. He offers an extended, systematic critical discussion of the work itself and a historical survey of its critical reception, including an account of the principal lines of approach and areas of controversy.
