No, lots of people have taught (and continue to teach) Calhoun with admiration, including the editor of the Calhoun papers, the paleo-con Clyde Wilson. And som Poundians admire his politics. Your opinions on such things are often ill-informed.

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

You'll notice that in my original tweet I said Poundians. Alice, as is her wont, invented the specification of American professor. Pound's reach has always been inside and outside the academy.

That's a ridiculously narrow way to look at this since Pound has always had a reputation & fan base outside the academy. Pace Alice, he's never been merely read as literature. And indeed the best book on Pound (Kenner's Pound Era) emphasizes his social vision.

Pound is taught in an institutional setting.
