Bringing some of the insights of modern critical theory to bear on
a great deal of information about Pound's activities as a literary
critic (some of it made available only recently), K.K. Ruthven
provides a provocative re-reading of a major modernist writer who
dominated the discourse of modernism.
What literary historians describe as the modernist movement in
literature - in which Ezra Pound doubled as a major poet and
principal publicist - is currently being revalued by practitioners
of various symptomatic styles of criticism who find modernism
Fascist in its politics and masculinist in its sexual politics.
"Ezra Pound as Literary Critic" contributes to some of those
debates by which Pound came to dominate the discourse of modernism.
Indeed, so successfully did he dominate that his version of it was
reproduced by academic critics as an official literary history of
the period beginning in 1910 with the publication of Pound's "The
Spirit of Romance", and culminating in 1922 with the appearance of
"Ulysses" and "The Wasteland".
