"The young Pound became greatly influenced by Cavalcanti after discovering his works through the translations of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Pound first translated the medieval Italian poet in Sonnets and Ballate of Guido Cavalcanti (1912), revised in the clumsily produced Guido Cavalcanti Rime (1932); neither edition saw a signed limited issue."
