S. Eliot is a critical exploration of the work of the influential American poet Ezra Pound, written in the early 20th century. This book, serving as a critical essay rather than a biography, addresses the nuances of Pound's metrics and poetic techniques, focusing on the poet's contributions to modern poetry. It aims to provide insights into how Pound's scholarly background and keen understanding of various poetic forms influenced his unique style. In the essay, Eliot discusses Pound's early works, such as "A Lume Spento" and "Personae," highlighting the intensity and originality that characterize his poetry. He notes the challenges Pound faced as an unknown poet in London and how his innovative use of meters and language set him apart from his contemporaries. Eliot also examines the evolution of Pound’s work over ten years, referencing his experiments with different forms and his movement towards new subjects, including the influences from Chinese and Japanese literature. The essay is an invitation for readers to engage more deeply with Pound's poetic innovations without being overwhelmed by critical baggage, encouraging a fresh appreciation for his literary contributions.
