Although Ezra Pound’s name has been tarnished by his antisemitism – something he later admitted, and disowned, albeit too late – The Cantos actually contains barely any trace of his anti-Semitic beliefs, although it does explore Pound’s views of usury and finance, which are related to his views on Jewish people. Many readers may be put off reading The Cantos by Pound’s anti-Semitic views; others may be put off because they find the work impenetrable, even unreadable.
