Roxana Preda is Researcher and Leverhulme Fellow at the University of Edinburgh and currently engaged in work on The Cantos Project, a digital research environment dedicated to Ezra Pound’s major poem, The Cantos. She currently serves as the President of Ezra Pound Society and is senior editor of the society digital quarterly, Make It New, which she created in 2014.

This encyclopedic Companion is an eloquent testament to the astonishing range of Pound’s life-long reception of the arts from Quattrocento sculpture to individual artists like Whistler and Kandinsky, to avant-garde cinema, ballet, and chamber music. Both archival and analytical, the Companion provides us with a new understanding of Pound’s very particular aesthetic in its specific cultural contexts.
