	Literary Encyclopedia: T. E. Hulme
		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.

		Hulme is remembered these days, if at all, for his influence on the poetic school of Imagism - a short-lived movement dreamed up by Ezra Pound in 1912, which produced such poems as Pound's In a Station of the Metro ("The apparition of these faces in the crowd;/Petals on a wet, fl bough.").
		As a journalist, polemicist and cultural impresario, Hulme was an all-round champion of the pre-First World War avant-garde - a fomenter and defender of the strange and new in literature, sculpture, painting and philosophy.
		Hulme carried a knuckleduster, which he invested with a weird sexual significance, and once claimed that "the emergency exit at Piccadilly Circus tube station was the most uncomfortable place in which he had ever copulated".

	[minstrels] Above the Dock -- T. E. Hulme
		Hulme's place in the history of literature seems assured, not so much for his own poetic output, but for his catalyzing influence upon Ezra Pound and the Imagists.
		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.

		AT the heart of the English avant-garde of the early 20th century, and exercising an important influence on Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound and T S Eliot, was a neo-classical concept of modernism.
		This concept was the work of the English critic and philosopher, T E Hulme, the founder with Pound of Imagist poetry, and the translator into English of Sorel's Reflections on Violence.

		Hulme’s university career was never completed - he left Cambridge shortly after his return and proceeded to Berlin, staying there for nine months and acquiring a wide knowledge of German philosophy and psychology.

	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.

		Hulme himself wrote a few short poems, which were meant to exemplify this theory in practice, so it is worth looking at one of these, 'The Sunset', for our first reading.
		In that Hulme's poem presents a self-contained depiction of a single event by means of one sustained metaphor, without explanation or commentary, it has some of the qualities that are associated with Imagism.
		Pound noted that Hulme's poems belonged to 'the School of Images' and Imagism as a poetic movement was born.

		When T. Hulme died, a friend recalled, "half the women in London went into mourning." Sex was only one of the ardent hobbies pursued by Thomas Ernest Hulme, a brilliant young English intellectual who seemed to take all knowledge for his hobby.
		When a burst of shellfire killed Hulme on the Western Front in 1917, he was just 34, and had been successively a poet, philosopher, self-proclaimed political reactionary, militarist, and pet lion of his own literary salon.
		Hulme preached the primacy of the image, since he believed that man's only sure grasp of reality was through analogy and metaphor.

		The truth is, Rae argues, `that Stevens's respect for the demands of actuality is, if anything, more powerful than his respect for the imagination.' Rae does admit that this respect does not extend to his `muses,' since, like many of the other modernists, Stevens believed that poetry had been feminized by mysticism and metaphysics.

		This project examines how Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde, T. Hulme, Ezra Pound, and T. Eliot respond to a nineteenth-century crisis of literary authority brought about by a new idea of culture.
		While these writers are often studied through the link between literary doctrine and politics, this approach fails to capture how aesthetic and political ideas of the moderns are linked to the emergence of the anthropological culture idea and its complication of “high culture.” English modernists exploit the culture idea to reassert art’s social power.
		Hulme, Ezra Pound, and T. Eliot seek to make art a means of shaping the collective mind.

	As I Please, 24 December 1943
		Reading Michael Roberts’s book on T. Hulme, I was reminded once again of the dangerous mistake that the Socialist movement makes in ignoring what one might call the neo-reactionary school of writers.
		T. Hulme was killed in the last war and left little completed work behind him, but the ideas that he had roughly formulated had great influence, especially on the numerous writers who were grouped round the Criterion in the twenties and thirties.
		It is worth noting that T. Hulme, the upper-middle-class English Conservative in a bowler hat, was an admirer and to some extent a follower of the Anarcho-Syndicalist, Georges Sorel.

		For Hulme too art is a special mode of knowing made accessible to the reader by the writer’s love of accuracy: “The great aim is accurate, precise and definite description.
		With Hulme he is aware that it is by means of the writing as much as in spite of the writing, that the writer as artist must achieve self-expression and communicate with his readers.
		This is an allusion to Hulme’s words: “The artist by making a fixed model of one of these transient waves enables you to isolate it out and to perceive it in yourself.

	New Statesman - Against utopia
		My guess also is that Hulme (1883-1917), who was a pugnacious yet surprisingly good-humoured controversialist, would have greeted with equal appetite all such responses to himself and any of his numerous "theories".
		Widely regarded as a loner and an intellectual tough - an assiduous womaniser, he made a habit of carrying a knuckleduster about with him - he was in fact inveterately gregarious, a serial joiner of clubs and reading-groups of all kinds and a self-sacrificing friend to those people whom he chose to admire.
		Unfortunately it is probably because of their original sponsorship, too, that people who have merely heard of Hulme, and even some who have actually read him, are still inclined to think of him as a proto-fascist - which he was not.

		Moreover, Hulme's frames of reference disintegrate in contact with lived reality: "Only one true general category does, in fact, exist, the single barbaric absolute in which religion, ethics, and art combine to objectify and fix the temporal phases through which the human intelligence, out of imperfection and caprice, passes" (Contemporaries 151).

		A group of American and English poets whose poetic program was formulated about 1912 by Ezra Pound—in conjunction with fellow poets Hilda Doolittle (H.D.), Richard Aldington, and F.S. Flint—and was inspired by the critical views of T.E. Hulme, in revolt against the careless thinking and Romantic optimism he saw prevailing.
		The Imagists wrote succinct verse of dry clarity and hard outline in which an exact visual image made a total poetic statement.
