Abstract

This paper offers a translation of eight poems written by T. E. Hulme, whose poetry and essays remain in large measure unknown in Portuguese. To accompany the translation, the paper discusses the concept of image as reflected on by Hulme and his defence of free verse. The montage-based structure of Hulme’s poems and the search for a language directed to the senses and stripped of abstractions present in his essays will be related to the ideas of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot. The paper concludes with a brief presentation of Hulme’s political thought, his distinction between romanticism and classicism, and its affinity with Eliot’s writings on social criticism.
