You're honestly telling me that in US universities Pound is currently taught for his politics by fascist admirers? You'd of course need more than one example to make your point about this being a regular thing but I'd be interested to know if you even have, say, three examples?

Considering how many conservatives went to bat for Pound in the 1950s, I think it’s fair to say at least *some* people in this tradition are teaching him today.

If you can't name even three it's not fair to say that at all. The state of ideological play at universities 70 years ago is rarely telling about the same unis today AFAIK the only bats still going for Pound want to teach him despite his politics, not because of them

This documentary about the contemporary Italian fascist youth hostel called CasaPound (i.e. in honor of Pound) is illuminating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3x-ge4w46E …

That's also true of fascists in general since the 1920s!

You've both drifted away from Jeet's claim that Pound's politics per se are taught in (presumably North American) universities. Still waiting for three examples and so far have seen none. Is it possible you'd like to revise your earlier claim?

The most academic famous book on Pound, still much taught, is The Pound Era, by Hugh Kenner, which goes out of its way to emphasize that Pound had an important social/political vision & wasn't just literature. That's the mainstream academic view of Pound.

Very relevant, yes, and I'd recommend Kenner's essay "The New Scholarship" (in William F. Buckley's edited collection Did You Ever See a Dream Walking?). Very illuminating on Kenner, the right & Pound. Which, I would insist, is the mainstream of Pound studies.
