Ezra Pound is a poet who founded the modernism of English poetry in the 1910s. In fact, many modernists were interested in searching for a new method of representing the psychological state of the modern man. While they wrote poetry in their own style and language, Pound decided to know about the art of poetry more than any other poet and explored the literary tradition for his poetry. He realized that old English and European literature proved to be far more valuable to him. In his early time Pound identified himself with symbolists such as the poets of the Pre-Raphealite brotherhood and W. B. Yeats. Many of his early poems reveal their influence, especially in aesthetic and pagan theme, image, and rhythm. He found that they represented the things objectively and specifically in their works and tried to get out of the vague expressions and images by their versification. Pound was also influenced by the Medieval poets such as Arnaut Daniel, Guido Cavalcanti, Bertran de Born, G. Dante, and Francios Villon who wrote poetry in the spirit of realism. They had what can be described as realistic spirit and their poetry was written from real life experiences. He employed their method to closely connect art with life. By translating their works, Pound imitated the poetic methods by which they revealed their vigorous emotion and pagan spirit. From Medieval poets, Pound learned the importance of language and metric forms. In addition, he practiced these methods for the modern poetry. His experiments with the multifarious resources from tradition have enabled him to from his modernist poetic theories.
