Amazon.com description: Product Description: This book reveals just how greatly Ezra Pound has influenced the translation of poetry in the twentieth century. Illustrating with translations from Latin, Old and Middle English, Old Provençal, and Medieval French, Ms. Apter surveys what is new in the work of contemporary translators. She also gathers the scholarship on Pound's challenges to Victorian translation into a single study.
