  Hulme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hulme (pronounced h-yume)today is a suburb of the city of Manchester in England but it was not always so.
The number of people living in Hulme went up 50-fold in the first half of the 19th century and the rapid building of housing for them meant the living conditions were dreadful, the sanitation non-existent and deadly diseases were rampant.
Changing the reputation of Hulme that was gained in the 1970s and 1980s has been a long process.

 Literary Encyclopedia: T. E. Hulme   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Hulme, aesthetic theorist, soldier, and imagist poet, was born at Gratton Hall in North-East Staffordshire on 16 September 1883, the eldest son of a wealthy family of landowners.
Hulme's interest in poetry was short-lived, and though the 'Complete Poetical Works of T. Hulme' that appeared in The New Age in 1912 were by no means complete, the five poems that appeared under this provocative title represent nearly a quarter of his known compositions.
In it, Hulme diagnoses the faults of 'romantic' art as being due to a belief in the perfectibility of man, and a fixation on the infinite, often expressed through metaphors of flight.

 Edward Pechter: Response to Peter Hulme: "Misrepresentation, Ego, Nostalgia: Misreading 'Misreading the ...
Barker and Hulme's main quarrel, however, is not with the old historicism but with the new radicalism--or at least with a certain tendency among their fellow alternative critics who, starting from the same anti-positivist unprivileging of original inscription, invest in a critical practice that might be called reception history (my term, not theirs).
Hulme includes Wilson (as he does the earlier Brotton) among the latter-day postcolonial critics who have added to the Caribbean dimensions of the play, but Wilson himself emphasizes his incompatibility with or at least his difference from the original version.
Hulme has already established the general theme of misrepresentation, and although the benign and "clearly unavoidable" (6) form illustrated here contrasts with the gratuitous malice discussed elsewhere, the idea could be put on the table much more economically without the illustration.

 HULME, Keri
Hulme has remembered that as a child she was possessed of ‘a relish for telling stories and an obsessive desire to communicate’.
Hulme has said of Kerewin that although she ‘has always been a bit of an off-shoot of me—a sort of wish-fulfilment character for what she owned, a shallow alter ego’, nonetheless ‘she escaped out of my control and developed a life of her own’.
Hulme’s postcoloniality, it is argued, accounts for her persistent use and subversion of binary categories (whether Maori/Pakeha, male/female, realism/fantasy or life/death) and her celebration of multiplicity.

 [minstrels] Above the Dock -- T. E. Hulme
As an aesthete and essayist, Hulme was a pioneer, one of the flag-bearers of modernism; many of the most radical innovators of the early years of this century owe their inspiration to Hulme's critical writings.
Hulme posited that post-Renaissance humanism was coming to an end and believed that its view of man as without inherent limitations and imperfections was sentimental and based on false premises.
Hulme published little in his lifetime, but his work and ideas sprang into fame in 1924, when his friend Herbert Read assembled some of his notes and fragmentary essays under the title Speculations.

 T.E. Hulme
Hulme calls Romanticism "spilt religion." Romantics "must always be talking about the infinite." They get carried away with "metaphors of flight," and a "certain pitch of rhetoric which.
Hulme objects to the notion that one may view art in a manner detached from the spirit of the age: "Your opinion is almost entirely of the literary history that came just before you, and you are governed by that whatever you may think." He uses Spinoza's example of a stone falling to the ground.
While Hulme insists that "romanticism is dead in reality," he acknowledges that "the critical attitude appropriate to it still exists." The romantic spirit of Wordsworth's "emotion recollected in tranquillity" is probably the spirit in which most non-academics read poetry (when they do) today.
