Ezra Pound
Following Eustace Mullins' biography, "This Difficult Individual, Ezra Pound" (1961), was "Life of Ezra Pound" (1970) by Noel Stock. A former reporter, Stock was one of the publishers of Pound's newspaper articles in the 1950s, including his antisemitism. Ronald Bush's "The Genesis of Ezra Pound's Cantos" (1976) became the first critical study of "The Cantos". Several significant biographies appeared in the 1980s: J. J. Wilhelm's three-volume work (1985–1994), beginning with "The American Roots of Ezra Pound"; John Tytell's "Ezra Pound: The Solitary Volcano" (1987); and Humphrey Carpenter's 1005-page "A Serious Character" (1988). A. David Moody's three-volume "Ezra Pound: Poet" (2007–2015) combines biography with literary criticism.
