Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and the Crowd

I wrote this thesis back in the early 21st century. The bit I like most now is the appendix, which Wyndham Lewis actually wrote, but which I travelled to shining Ithaca, New York, to look at. It has quite an involved critical apparatus that I haven't got round to typesetting for the web.

• Abstract
• Introduction: Re-entering the 'Era of Crowds'
• 1. 'The real stuff of the poetry of our day': Negotiating the Edwardian Crowd
• 2. Blast: Crowd Master and Crowd Medium
• 3. 'No sensation worth noting': After the Crowd
• Conclusion: The End of an Era
• Appendix: Wyndham Lewis's Cantelman: Crowd Master

Or you can download the whole thing as a pdf, appendix and all.
