Summary
The ‘transnational turn’ has cycled from its establishment within the social sciences in the 1990s, its dissemination across the humanities in the 2000s, to its reassessment in our present decade. It is the contention of this chapter that to reread Ezra Pound’s comparatist aesthetic and political labours within this presently contested framework demonstrates anew the significance of Pound’s methods of literary and cultural appraisal – and that this exercise can illuminate, too, the critical affordances and limitations of the transnational turn itself.
