Summary "Hugh Selwyn Mauberley" by Ezra Pound is a collection of poems published in the early 20th century. It reflects the disillusionment and artistic struggles of a modern poet who feels out of touch with the contemporary world. The work explores themes such as the nature of art, culture, and the impact of war on society, providing a critical lens on the values of Pound's time. The poems within "Hugh Selwyn Mauberley" are framed around the character of the poet Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, who embodies a voice of artistic integrity amidst the chaotic modern landscape. Through a series of sections, the work contrasts traditional artistic ideals with the emerging values of the 20th century. It delves into the conflicts between personal desire and societal expectations, showcasing Mauberley's reflections on beauty, creativity, and the ephemeral nature of existence. Pound's sharp wit and incisive commentary serve to critique both the cultural zeitgeist and his own place within it, ultimately expressing a sense of longing for a more profound connection to art and life.
