Thanks for your remarks.
You can find my books at www.campiche.ch, my first novel was called «Les Corbeaux sur nos plaines».
I threw in T.E. Hulme, Imagist. I did not throw in Professor Doolittle's little girl, Imagiste, but thank you for reminding me that Mr. H.D., Richard Aldington, was also among the English experimentalists of 1914(you write British in your last sentence, surely a mistake since you have already suggested that Joyce is acceptably avant).
You are working too hard to deny poor Fordie. He was English. Concede.
Or else you must let Eliot be English. If you are going to argue cultural affinities = nationality--then he was, even prior to his triple conversion, English in spades.
Pound was English till 1920, then he was Italian, then he was forcibly American, then he was Italian again.
I am glad you did so well in school.
Hey! Me, too!!
Sorry, I noticed after having written that you asked where I blog.
I blog on the Nisus list of Darmouth College and on www.cuk.ch, where I write one or two contributions per month.
