	washingtonpost.com: Hugh Kenner, Modernist Literary Scholar, Dies
		Hugh Kenner, 80, a revered scholar who championed literary modernism, which broke with expressive styles of the past, and the idea that high-minded academic terrain did not have to be dry, died Nov. 24 at his home in Athens, Ga. He had heart ailments.
		Kenner solidified his reputation as a Joyce scholar with "Dublin's Joyce" (1955), "Joyce's Voices" (1978) and "Ulysses" (1980), a study of the legendarily difficult work of the same title.
		William Hugh Kenner was a native of Peterborough, Ontario.

	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Ideas / The master critic
		WHEN HUGH KENNER died on Nov. 24, a few weeks shy of his 81st birthday, the first problem for writers of obituaries and tributes was how to categorize him.
		For the organizing recognition of "patterned integrities" Kenner credited the visionary architect and engineer Buckminster Fuller (it was he who stood on the platform of college auditoriums, explaining "the first principles of the universe" to dazzled undergraduates by tying and untying an invisible knot).
		Kenner moved without strain from Joyce's "Ulysses" to Chuck Jones's classic Warner Brothers cartoons (to which he devoted a book, one of his best); "high art" and popular art, literature and technology were all part of the same conversation.

	Jeet Heer, "Hugh Kenner, RIP"
		Hugh Kenner who died in late November at age 80, began his career as a great literary critic in a characteristically eccentric way, by reading a book smuggled in by a priest and visiting a genius locked away in a madhouse.
		Kenner was never willing to write off contemporary culture as something beyond understanding and he soon found a mentor who shared his hope of finding an underlying order beneath the surface chaos of modern life and literature.
		Kenner's genius was always in doing the unexpected: showing that Pound's poetry illustrated the principles of fractal math, arguing that Alexander Pope anticipated the techniques of Pop Art, demonstrating that Bugs Bunny cartoons gained their speed and energy from tight-fisted economic policies at the Warner Brothers Studio.

	Books \| Hugh Kenner
		Kenner adapted his critical style to suit the particular author under scrutiny, following Dr Johnson's observation that literary criticism must be regarded as part of literature or be abandoned altogether.
		As a student, Kenner had been faced with a choice between writing and mathematics; his grandfather was a skilled mathematician, and his parents were classics teachers - the local school in Peterborough is named after his father.
		When I met Hugh Kenner last summer, he was dressed in a stripey, light-blue suit, with a bow tie and glasses slightly askew.

	The Antigonish Review: issue 116 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		That Dudek and Kenner are still very much alive and intellectually vibrant is again confirmed by the two books under consideration hereDudek's The Caged Tiger (1997), a collection of poems, and Kenner's The Elsewhere Community (1998), a collection of essays written for the 1997 CBC Massey Lectures.
		Kenner begins his collection with three stories of travel, the first of a young John Milton travelling to Florence to visit an aged Galileo, the second of Paddy Kavanagh walking fifty-five miles to Dublin to visit George William Russell, and the third of Kenner himself, the apprentice critic, visiting a journeyman Samuel Beckett.
		Rich in anecdotal detail, Kenner's three stories of travel reveal what lies at the heart of j oumeying: the desires for connection, mentorship, and, curiously, clarity, the opportunity for the journeying subject to see himself unadorned through a rear-view mirror.

	Hugh Kenner - Telegraph
		Kenner was in the early stages of a doctorate on Joyce, but after meeting Pound and reading his Pisan Cantos, he decided that the American poet was the more interesting subject.
		Kenner's ability to absorb the literary form and style of his modernist subjects, and reproduce it in his own critiques of their work, made it seem as if he himself was more of a participant than a bystander.
		William Hugh Kenner was born on January 7 1923 at Peterborough, Ontario, and educated at Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational Institute, where his father was headmaster and classics teacher.

	The Austin Chronicle Books: Review - The Elsewhere Community
		Kenner, a distinguished critic of modernist literature, was a protégé and confidant of some of the greatest modernist writers of his time, most notably Ezra Pound, Samuel Beckett, and William Carlos Williams.
		This connection is especially borne out as Kenner notes the connections between literature and travel -- for example, in the parallel reactions of Milton and Wordsworth to their Italian tours.
		Kenner links the tradition of the Continental Grand Tour (once de rigueur for any gentleman's education) to that world that readers -- or good readers, anyway -- find between the covers of books.

	Elegy for Hugh Kenner. - By Jeet Heer - Slate Magazine
		English professors don't normally moonlight as the authors of practical engineering guides, but Kenner was always a bundle of contradictions: a technophile, a Catholic convert, a political and social conservative, a cultural radical, an explicator of recondite poetry, and a celebrator of animated cartoons.
		Kenner can, indeed, be described as a conservative, but he was an eccentric one.
		The characteristic Kenner touches are all present: the vigorous syntax and rich diction, the confident leaping through time and space, the unexpected juxtapositions (the steam shovel with Coolidge), the linkage between technology and culture, and even a slight hint of his religious convictions.

	Out of adversity came diversity - Hugh Kenner - editorial Discover - Find Articles
		Hugh Kenner, 63, former chairman of the English department at Johns Hopkins, it could fairly be said, is a polymath's polymath.
		It's indicative of how much at home Kenner is in diverse fields that the revisions of his article in this issue on applied mathematics had to be completed overnight so he could hurry off to Ireland to attend a memorial convocation for Flann O'Brien, the Irish satirist fantasist, and newspaper columnist.
		By the time Kenner wrote his book on geodesic math three years later, he was able to include a chapter that explained the underlying theory of tensegrity and reduced the governing numerical principles to for- mulae--something Fuller never accomplished.

	The Pound Era
		"Hugh Kenner's The Pound Era could as well be known as the Kenner era, for there is no critic who has more firmly established his claim to valuable literary property than has Kenner to the first three decades of the 20th century in England.
		Kenner's study...is not so much a book as a library, or better, a new kind of book in which biography, history, and the analysis of literature are so harmoniously articulated that every page has a narrative sense....
		Hugh Kenner (1923-2003) was one of America's great literary critics.

	The American Spectator
		Kenner knew a priest who could vouch for his morals, but, unfortunately, was not able to find an M.D. who could attest to the fact that reading Joyce would not be corrupting.
		Kenner was never willing to write off contemporary culture as beyond understanding and he soon found a mentor who shared his hope in finding an underlying order beneath the surface chaos of modern life and literature.
		Kenner would always remain a loyal Poundian: Kenner's book The Pound Era (1971) is by far the best tribute that poet has received and a classic in twentieth century literary criticism.
