	Ezra Pound - definition of Ezra Pound in Encyclopedia (1280 words) Pound's early poetry was inspired by his reading of the pre-Raphaelites and other 19th century poets and medieval Romance literature, as well as much neo-Romantic and occult/mystical philosophy. In 1920, Pound moved to Paris where he moved among a circle of artists, musicians and writers who were revolutionising the whole world of modern art. Pound was conceited and flamboyant to say the least which in psychiatric terms became "grandiosity of ideas and beliefs".
