I too read those authors when I was in school, and lament that they hardly are even taught or mentioned anymore in the modern high school English curriculum. That's my point.
Good response. I recall that Robert Frost, T.S. Elliot, and Ernest Hemingway were promoted in the school I went to a long time ago. I remember the teacher reading Robert Frost poems. But, no Ezra Pound. The irony is none of these people would have become famous without Ezra Pound's help. Even the Irish novelist James Joyce, whom Ezra Pound helped introduce to publishers and find landing spots in magazines for several of the stories in "The Dubliners" and "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man." During Joyce's leanest years, Pound helped him with money and even, it is said, helped secure for him an old pair of shoes to wear.
Your point is...?

So sorry that Ernest Hemingway is much out of favor these days.
OMG, Ernst Hemingway was one of the greatest.
