Ezra Pound contributed to the reformation of versification and the development of poetry in the twentieth century by founding a movement in verse, Imagism. Pound attempted to compose, or to be more exact, invent “great poetry.” Pound thought that the “great poetry” should follow three principles of the Imagist poetics: to treat the thing directly; to avoid unnecessary words or adjectives; and to use non-rigid metrical rhythm. Pound’s Imagism stressed its departure from the traditional poetic form, or Romanticism to foreground its originality, novelty and modernity. This paper examines and reconsiders the limitation of the proclamatory break from the literary style of the Romantics. In order to differentiate the tenets of Imagism from the traditions of Romanticism, Pound cited and criticized the Romantic features in Walt Whitman’s poetry. According to Pound, Whitman’s poems went against the core principles advocated by the Imagist movement: Whitman did not treat the subject and object in a direct manner; he used many words and long sentences; he did not adopt proper metrical patterns either. The harsh criticism, however, was transformed into a recognition of the common ground on which Pound and Whitman had the same root. Pound’s Imagism is both a critique and an appropriation of Whitman’s Romanticism.
