Abstract
Wyndham Lewis and Ezra Pound’s relation to other modernists and subsequently, to modernist scholarship are contrasted. Lewis’s self-positioning as “the Enemy” had ramifications for his later acceptance into the modernist canon. The paper suggests a re-evaluation of the work of Lewis as an important and perhaps unfairly neglected central figure of modernism.
