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 Proven al, 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. The translator, Pound said, can show where the treasure lies. Ms. Apter demonstrates that contemporary poet-translators are busy excavating.
