ABSTRACT
Pound's editorial of acceptance on becoming foreign editor of the Little Review (May 1917) announced his hope that the magazine would supplement the work of the Egoist in publishing Remy de Gourmont, Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, and T. S. Eliot. Bodenheim felt that some reply was called for (by 1917 Eliot's verse had only appeared in Pound's Catholic Anthology, and in Poetry and Others). Margaret Anderson defended Pound in the same issue, arguing that his 'autocracy of opinion' was justified because his brain 'functions aesthetically rather than emotionally', and that Pound's way of seeing things derived strength from seeing things in black and white.
