Why is T.E Hulme a legendary literary figure?

 

             T.E. Hulme was a poet who was famous for his literary theories. His theories gave authority and direction to the poetic experiments of the Imagist Movement that describes images with simple language.

             Ezra Pound, the leader of the Imagists, published five of Hulme’s poems in his book ‘Ripostes’. The poems appear in the part titled ‘The Complete Poetical Works of T.E. Hulme’.

             Though Hulme wrote little poetry, his verse had a great influence on Pound, Eliot and other modern poets. Hulme was born on 16 September, 1883. He was dismissed for rowdyism from St John’s College, Cambridge in 1904. The majority of T.E. Hulme’s works were published after his death on 28th September, 1917.
