Summary
Eliot … attending to fools: As editor of the Criterion, “a recruiting ground for potential Faber authors,” as Jason Harding observes, Eliot “carefully cultivated and advised several generations of writers,” many of whom the famously prickly Pound would no doubt have considered “fools.” Writing in The Little Review twenty years earlier, Pound had chastised Poetry likewise for its “unflagging courtesy to a lot of old fools and fogies whom I should have told to go to hell tout pleinement and bonnement.”
