Review Quotes: 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.-- "Marjorie Perloff, author of The Futurist Moment: Avant-Garde, Avant Guerre and the Language of Rupture"
