Pound and Eliot

A trend toward cultural studies is marked in this year’s critical productions on Pound and Eliot—especially those e√orts coming from scholars based in Great Britain. To generalize: with various brands of materialist criticism on the ascendant, the emphasis is on context, biography, and, as has become usual, politics and ideology; on the other hand, a countervailing interest in myth and the occult suggests the emergence of new, less materialist approaches. An important new volume of Pound’s correspondence and an updated Eliot biography have appeared; both of them present newly available material. Alec Marsh is responsible for the Pound section, Ben Lockerd for the Eliot.
