Ezra Pound: Poems Lesson Plan

For a poem that similarly uses a fictional character to express the author’s disillusionment with the modern world, see T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.”

For another seminal work of modernist literature, see James Joyce’s Ulysses or Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

For context to many of the allusions, see Homer’s The Iliad and the Odyssey, two epic poems that are among the oldest known works of Western literature.
