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.

Basil Bunting (1900-1985) is now recognized as one of the most important twentieth-century British poets. This study is the first book-length analysis of his life and poetic achievement. Makin focuses particularly on the saints and warriors that occupy a central position in Bunting's masterpiece, Briggflatts, and on the forms of music and of Northumbrian painting and writing that help determine its structure. This study reveals Bunting as a major figure both in the development of modernism and of twentieth-century poetry as a whole. Oxford University Press is also publishing Bunting's Uncollected Poems.
