ABSTRACT
The difficulties we have found in the various imagist theories so far discussed have not been difficulties in imagism as such, but difficulties in particular versions of it. On the whole we have felt able to defend imagism as such against various attacks. Let us now see whether an imagist theory can be constructed which avoids the difficulties of the previous theories, and which does not have special difficulties of its own. If objections to this theory seem such as will apply, so far as well founded, equally to any form of imagism, it will provide us with an opportunity for a final assessment of imagism.
