Examples

“To both Beckett and Orwell, a Poundlike injunction to make the novel "new" coupled with a faith in the (abstract) revolutionary power of autonomous art would have sounded hollow and naive, perhaps dangerously so.”

“And, as in Pound's case, his translations have been attacked by specialists—attacks that, like Pound, he has rejected with a Poundlike indignation.”
