Was Ezra Pound the first theorist of world literature? Or did he
inaugurate a form of comparative literature that could save the
discipline from its untimely demise? Would he have welcomed the
2008 financial crisis? What might he say about America's economic
dependence on China? Would he have been appalled at the rise of the
"digital humanities," or found it amenable to his own quasi-social
scientific views about the role of literature in society? What, if
anything, would he find to value in today's economic and aesthetic
discourses? Ezra Pound in the Present collects new essays by
prominent scholars of modernist poetics to engage the relevance of
Pound's work for our times, testing whether his literature was, as
he hoped it would be, "news that stays news."
