This essay surveys the complex relationship between Ezra Pound (1885-1972) and W. B. Yeats (1865-1939), with special reference to the role played by Pound in Yeats’s self-transformation from late Romantic to early Modernist poet. The essay will also dwell on the distinctive nature of Pound’s contribution to literary modernism, and on how Yeats responded with sympathy to aspects of Pound that he found inimical in the modernism of Pounds’ friend T. S. Eliot (1888-1965). The paper will conclude with reflections on how literary modernism might be understood not simply through tenets of composition but as a phase in literary culture whose history was complexly intertwined with London as a metropolis, which became a home away from home for many expatriate writers. This part of the paper will revisit the kinds of argument associated with Donald Davie’s claim, from Thomas Hardy and British Poetry (1972), that literary modernism was an un-English development largely connected with the influence on English metropolitan culture, of “foreign” authors such as Pound, Eliot, and Yeats.
